This was an out-of-the-way quiet location. I didn’t see many people around, which made you feel like you had a lot of privacy. The parking is a little complicated and we did not have room service. There were ants in our room which crawled across the bed. That was unfortunate.

We had a WONDERFUL stay, rooms were comfortable and super clean!! You cannot see the ocean from the surfer room, but there is a wonderful outdoor kitchen/Lanai just up the stairs where we could see a mildly obstructed view of the ocean. We will def be back!
