"There are no phones to call the office so I wish there were instructions (tv, air etc)or a welcome letter with hours, menu those kinds of things. This was our first time staying here so wasn’t sure about anything and had to keep going to bar/reception to ask. There are no coffee pots in the rooms and the reception area doesn’t open until 7am so we had to run to Starbucks every morning at 530. The beach access is nice but again, we weren’t sure where to get the tickets, then where to go to gain access. So much confusion could be eliminated with an info packet in each room. The area is nice and 3 blocks from beach and shops."
