Great beachfront hotel

The previous reviews are correct, confirm you're staying in the beachfront hotel if that's important to you. We did, and everything was great. Clean, spacious, lovely balcony. Would stay again!

My hotel door was faulty which could not open. Since it was midnight, I believed notifying staff once would resolve my issue. However, it took several complaints and two hours to get the door to work.

I was charged from my deposit for towels I did not take. In fact I went to the front desk and picked up 4 more towels on my second day there. All the towels were left in the room. I called the front desk and they told me why I was charged $30. Anyone else experience this?
