The ocean was visible .we particularly enjoyed the beach cafe. My only criticism would be lack of privacy due to transclucent glass in shower and toilet plus the the toilet for was a sliding glass panel which was very noisy during the night

Because of the construction, we did not really have access to the town itself. We did go in one day but it seemed to have limited options. The sugar mill was interesting for a short diversion. Lobosonda whale watching trip was excellent.
