This hotel is a bit older, but the rooms are kept up. We stayed in the suite with the room overlooking the ocean. However, we wish the main bedroom was facing the ocean rather than the hall. The pullout sofa was definitely too small for our two older kids. But, overall the location was great and the staff was very helpful. I even left my laptop charger in the room, and they were able to ship it to me for just the shipping fee.

I could not have designed a more perfect trip for my husband‘s birthday getaway. We booked the trip two days before check-in, and everything was above and beyond our expectations, most especially, the view from our balcony. Just wow!!! I can see why this place has earned perfect reviews!!!
