The staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Check-in was easy and they were very helpful in helping us figure out excursions and restaurant recommendations. We stayed in the two bedroom hotel room with ocean views and a balcony. The rooms were nice and big with one large bedroom and one smaller bedroom that overlooked the ocean. The rooms were very clean and were cleaned everyday. We were able to prepare some meals in the hotel room as we had our own stove top and fridge. A nice grocery store was next door. You could buy food, alcohol plus prepared foods. This was a nice bonus. We did use the balcony a lot which was nice to just sit outside. When booking our room the breakfast was included. There was a buffet plus also you could order off a menu. We actually did both. Another great thing about this hotel is the location. It is in the old part of town but you can walk, bike, run on the walkway. Just so close to everything. There is nothing that I can say bad about this hotel. Check-out went smooth and they called for a taxi to come and pick us up. When we come back we will definitely stay at this hotel.
