There was a driver waiting for me at the airport, and he was very kind and helpful. My room was spacious and overlooking the ocean (across the street not beachfront). Breakfast was great. Overall a great stay except for one night, there was a party that sounded like it was on the floor below me but it could have been in the next block.
