Loved it! Hotel itself was awesome with an amazing view. Great sound proofing too as there was some beach tournament going on with loud music, but we couldn't tell until we opened the screen door. Amazing restarsunts around there too. Only thing was the beach area directly in front was more for surfers, as the waves were a bit stronger. A lifeguard patrol also had told us to move further down the beach if we wanted to swim, but that wasn't the hotel's fault.
