I particularly appreciated the pool. It was kept at just the right temperature and cleaned thoroughly each morning, along with all furniture around it. It was conveniently located to the pier and to several restaurants (within walking distance). Staff were all cordial and helpful. I can think of nothing to criticize. It was a top-notch operation.
