10/10 Excellent
"Checkin was simple,frontdesk attendent was nice and helpful. Ample parking. Hotel lobby had ATM, local brochures,soda/water/light snacks for sale,restrooms. (Complimentary coffee/tea or water wouldve been a helpful touch there) Our room was a double bedroom with kitchenette. It was clean,however the floor throughout was wet from cleaning so our socks got wet quickly. We took our shoes off immediately so we wouldnt track sand in. The kitchenette had basics like silverware,pots/pans,dishes,bowls,coffee mugs,glasses,dish detergent,sponge,handtowel,toaster,coffeemaker,microwave,stovetop,fridge,table with 4 chairs. The bathroom had toiletpaper,shower gel and shampoo,towels. Bedrooms had comfy beds and pillows,plenty of outlets,box of tissues,iron and ironing boards,plenty of drawers and an open closet with shelves and hangers. The livingroom had an air-conditioner,large screen tv with remote,desk with chair,a couch and 2 chairs. Next time we will ask for upper floor,due to heavy walkers above us,somewhat inhibiting naps and early bedtime 11pm. Inside pool/outside pool were clean/refreshing,plenty of pool loungers/chairs. There were bikes/kayaks to rent,but we didnt utilize them,nor did we use the tennis court. Daily complimentary breakfast was sufficient(coffee,milk,orange/apple juice,bread,croissants,bagels,p.butter,jam,muffins,apples,yogurt,oatmeal/cereal) $5 trolley in front of hotel. Short walk behind to channel of water,then dunes then beach♡see pics of all.easy checkout"
