What I liked was the view from my room overlooking the beach. But, it also overlooked two closed outdoor pools. What we didn’t like was the closed outdoor pools, the indoor pool had a lot of hair floating in it, our room smelled like the harshest amount g of pinesol, and there was even a cockroach.

Perfect stay..lovely people and place. As soon as I arrived, I saw dolphins, beach bunnies, and a ton of birds. Hotel was extreme topnotch oceanfront. My favorite part was that this hotel is run efficiently with in a minimalist way that does not add to the heavy consumption and waste going on all around. Beautiful very quiet peaceful place and I hope to again and again.
