Our room was clean, nice location where all the shops and restaurants in walking distance. Nice view of the ocean from our deck. Only thing I would change is the breakfast could be better. The eggs were sitting in water, not appetizing to eat, staff should come out and stir eggs more often. The pastries should be refilled when low of it. We were there around 8:30 only 2-3 pastry. This happened 2 of the 3 mornings we were there. Overall, good place to stay.
