Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the Gulf of America. The room was clean and provided a small kitchenette. Towels were resupplied daily and room tidied up. We were on second floor with both elevator and stair access. The elevator was more of a cargo type and slow. Ice machine and vending machine were handy. The indoor pool and hot tub are in another building which made for a cold walk back to the room. The access to that building was a bit odd. Parking on site is free. The beach was fabulous with sunrise and sunset views. One night was a bit rowdy with teens on the beach. The hotel has a pay for breakfast not included but convenient. The general area feels safe although the police were kept busy nearby.

Not bad for a quick 1 night stay before our condo was ready. Good location for those who enjoy close fun - lots to do around there for teens and children. For the amount of people that are in and out of there the place was in a great shape and clean.
