Great rooms great staff no vacation is perfect but no complaint on my part would have derailed a thing. Staff were helpful 24/7 and willing to help with anything asked. The location was perfect to either sit on the beach or walk a couple blocks to 5th where every store you could want to visit. Used the grill multiple nights as we sat on the rooftop deck to enjoy dinner. I promised that we would be back as I left and looks like I’ll be booking again so expect a follow up review in a couple months!
