I didn't have a beach view, but I wasnt there to watch the beach from my room. The rooms were very clean and when the windows are shut you cant hear anything from outside. Staff is very friendly. The breakfast wasnt something I partook in because there were so many other places to go. The only thing I give 3 stars to is the bed; it's too soft for me, but others might love it! Would definitely stay there again.
