8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed the beach access and pool. The location was great Ames everything was clean. It would have been nice to know more about the hotel amenities.. ordering drinks poolside or how the towel return worked. However we really enjoyed our stay and were there for the beach and we definitely took advantage of that! I would stay here again."
