I stayed for a few nights and found the room beautiful. it faced the ocean. the room was also very clean and quite spacious. i especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There were many choices. i also had dinner there one night, and i found it delicious.

I found it difficult to get beach chairs. They were often unavailable by late morning.

i liked the breakfast, so many choices. plus, that 25% off the first dinner was awesome. the room faced the ocean and i was on the 9th floor so the view was killer. access to beach and promenade access was very convenient, and the local bus stopped right outside the door.

the air conditioning wasnt strong in room, corridors were hot with no air conditioning.
