This hotel was difficult to find and out of the way. Though it was a very clean and nice facility, the bed was about the worst I have ever slept on. They did send a "topper mattress" when we complained that made it somewhat tolerable. The restraunt only offerred an expensive buffett for dinner, and any other option was a some distance to drive. Most guests there seemed to be on a "meals included" plan (we had an included breakfast which was good)and there for an extended stay at the beach. This place might be ok under these circumstances (if you can sleep on a board), but if travelling through, I’d recommend finding something closer to town.
