The view was spectacular! The bar was very busy, they didn’t have any draft beer at the beach bar. I didn’t eat but everybody seemed to be enjoying their meals. The room was clean for the most part but the bed rails that were upholstered fabric were dirty and worn. The linens were clean and comfortable. The room had a cute beachy vibe.

Excellent food and beverages close to the beach. Stayed overnight before departing on a cruise. The staff were helpful and friendly but the accommodations were a bit basic for the price.
