"The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wish the windows in our room had been a bit cleaner so we could enjoy the ocean view more. I also noticed that our door did not fit fully in the door frame meaning there was a crack large enough to see into the hallway. Otherwise, we enjoyed the hot tub and breakfast."
