We love this hotel! The staff is incredibly helpful, kind, and accommodating. We had booked two separate reservations due to extending our trip last minute and even though we had to check out and check back in, they made the process as easy as possible. Great views, clean, nice amenities and so reasonably priced for being right on the beach. Highly recommend!
