Beautiful hotel, beautiful beach, and amazing view to wake up to. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The breakfast was interesting....rather than making and wasting lots of food for a winter crowd, they asked us to order from a menu, and breakfast was delivered to our room at the specified time. Most included fruit, water and juice. Our entree was a blueberry muffin. Not bad. Our only complaint was that the hot tub could have been hotter. We would stay there again!
