The view to the beach was fantastic and is a short walk to it. The pool seemed fine and people were using it but we didn’t use it. Parking was full for the holiday weekend but right across the street is the parking of the restaurant so that was no big issue. We had the kitchenette room and worked well for our needs. Tv was fine but only had it on for about 15 minutes, our goal was beach !!!The only negative was the wifi connection, it was not great probably due to all the people using it. Had to go outside the hotel to connect to schedule a ride to the airport.
