Room was spotless. One of the foot ottomans under the recliner had a broken leg. Not a big deal, but a staff should have mentioned it so it could get fixed. Staff was professional and friendly!

The sunset is a must and it's a great place if you are into running stairs. Not good for bad knees if you want to walk down the stairs to the beach.
