Everything was great accept the AC/Heat unit. It didn’t stay consistent at all. Either too hot or too cold in the room. But the other part of the stay and room was good! We enjoyed. Just please check the air/heat.

One of the housekeeping staff stopped me and my son as we were walking back from the beach, to ensure we saw the dolphins just off the shore AND a submarine...we almost missed it and would have, had he not stopped us. Good people working here, very quick walk to the beach, and convenient to the overall area.

Room was good most of the time, at first they tried to put me in a different room because of a maintenance problem but I was eventually able to get the room I picked. There was a power outage and one of the TVs was not functioning properly.
