It was clean and safe. The staff was friendly and helpful. The parking was ok, but we didn't like having to pay for it with a cell phone, rather than through the hotel. The walk to the beach was a little long, up and over a hill, but OK for younger folks. The pool and jacuzzi were great. The breakfast had some great choices and the pancake machine was pretty cool.
