Room was very clean. Beautiful beach view from balcony. Loved the beach access and lounge chairs provided. Appreciated the breakfast-to-go options. Bed very comfortable. King suite with sofa room was roomy and pleasant. Minor issue -corners of ceilings had a couple cobwebs. Will definitely stay again. This was a great anniversary trip.

There is no carpet on the floors, making it very noisy, especially from the room above. Breakfast is delivered to your room in a box. It's cold (needs to be microwaved) and not that good! I'd rather go to a restaurant!
