I am usually not one to complain as there is too much negativity in comments already so I am just going to share the good and bad. The good: Close to everything and centrally located. Bedding was nice. Bid kitchen with full size fridge Ac works great The bad: Beds are like concrete Shower heads either spray everywhere or fall apart No water pressure. According to the front desk only 1 pillow per person, we asked for extra and were denied. Some rooms have safes and others don’t. Overall: We very much enjoyed the area but I would not stay here again due to the amount of pain I was in after trying to sleep on the beds. We stayed in 2 separate rooms so I know it was not just the one room we were in.

Lovely patio

The location is great. Walkable to the beach and to the Main Street vendors. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived, which was to be expected since we were early. They did let us use the pool until we could check in which is nice, but would not supply towels, even when asked. They then gave us the wrong room. We are 4 adults and booked a room with a queen and 2 twin beds. They originally gave us two doubles but did move us when I talked to them at the reception. Even though we had to pay extra for 4 adults to share a room, room only has two towels! The pool is nice and deep, with a lot of rules to make sure there is no fun. Lol
