The main hotel is beautiful- unfortunately we were in the “additional building/ building B” putting this review out there to warn you of that. There is no elevator in building B the rooms are smaller and the condition of the bathrooms - not as nice. Request the main building when booking!

The hotel room was very clean and fresh smelling. And the hotel overall was kept very clean. I had a great view of the ocean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The 5pm complimentary wine and cheese was nice. I liked that they had free beach chairs for use. The towels were nice a fluffy too. Parts of the grout and sealant in the bathroom were a bit dated. My only compliant were the pillows. They were lumpy and uncomfortable and if you don't like firm mattresses, you wont like the beds.
