Overall amazing stay

We loved staying here for a short beach trip. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but the hotel is still in such a great location and close to everything to walk, have dinner and drinks- overall an amazing location! The only thing I didn't realize that seems a little strange is that when you stay here, the beach chairs at the private beach aren't included- you have to pay extra for chairs and an umbrella. I feel like at least the beach chairs should be included in your stay for a private beach that the hotel owns! Other than that- great location. Amazing staff. Great experience!

The location was great right on your own private beach area. There were also plenty of dining options and a couple of shopping/market options. The pool was nice, but I wish it also would have had a hot tub. The A/C units were being worked on which was a little inconvenient, but the hotel was very good with communication about the process.
