Family stay

The location is perfect in terms of being right on the beach. It's walking distance from many restaurants and the supermarket. The hotel itself can use a little update. They have a mini fridge, with a freezer that couldn't close all the way cause of the ice build up, so stuff got frozen. The closet only had hangers, so no place to put our stuff. The beds/pillows weren't too comfortable. The breakfast was only hawaiian bread with ham/cheese and mayo, coffee, mandarins, bananas, and apple, and some crackers, so we had to eat out all week. The staff was great and very helpful and kind. Theres a nice restaurant downstairs, but only opened on the weekend. Price is good and they let us do late checkout for only 20 extra per hour. I would go back for a short stay if i want to be right on the beach.

The staff and hotel is Ahhhmazing. They just developed a restaurant and the food and drinks are good. I didn’t like the restaurant too much b/c they told me that I couldn’t bring outside food to the Lounge when they are in operation but the lounge is where the view is and I’m a hotel guest so I’m not going to eat in my room when I paid for the view… other than that everything was great.
