Pros +

  • It's in a great location. Quick access to a private beach and plenty to do within walking distance.
  • Private beach area
  • The hotel was very clean, from the rooms to the pools, which to me is the most importantly. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons -

  • I didn't like the extra fees. Having to pay for parking and beach chairs on top of everything was surprising.
  • Tiny elevator
  • My only issue with the hotel is that you had to pay for the chairs for the beach, and you weren’t allowed to bring your own. And that parking was $25 a day. These things add up and I wasn’t really expecting that. But I’d definitely stay again.
