We loved the hotel! Everything was new and immaculate. There is covered free parking. There is a beautiful pool. You are right on the beach which felt like we had our own private beach. Even though they do not provide daily housekeeping you can go to the office to get any replacement items you need. The balconies are private, large and screened in. It was convenient to have a full kitchen. The rooms are large and have high ceilings. The staff in the office are very nice. We would like to go back to stay there. It is also very quiet.
