This was the perfect hotel for our stay. The loction is perfect, there is a gate to walk right out to the beach and is very close to restaurants and night life. They have bike rentals and beach stuff to keep you busy during your stay. The room was super cute and the pool and view were amazing. The staff was also very friendly! We will stay here again
