Staff was excellent!! 1st room not good. Needed maintenance and upkeep. Fan needed dusting. After dinner found ants in bed. Staff moved us to a different room which was better maintained but unfortunately it didn’t have the ocean view. Beach was beautiful loved the chairs and umbrellas provided. Neat fire pits area. For the costs per night I expect better rooms. Staff surprised me with bottle of champagne and a heartfelt note for my special birthday. It was a nice surprise.
