Loved our stay! The perfect place to take our granddaughters for a mini vacation.
Only issue really was going for the breakfast. One of the ladies there was rude. We saw her for the first two mornings and on the third decided we didn’t want another interaction with her so didn’t go.
Other than that it was reasonably priced and right on the beach
