8.8/10 Excellent! (1,748 reviews)

Our interactions with hotel and restaurant staff were very pleasant; everyone was very accommodating. Check-in and check-out were easy and quick. The room was clean and comfortable. The ocean view was fantastic. We have only two minor criticisms: 1) There was no microwave and the refrigerator was VERY small and almost completely filled with hotel snacks and drinks. 2) The tv channel selection was very limited. Granted, we don't go to the coast to watch tv, but we want more than news and sports.
