9.4/10 Exceptional! (456 reviews)

Overall the property was clean; however, it was a great disappointment to see the street light with wires as an ocean view literally right outside your balcony. I also didn’t appreciate upon greeting the staff stressed about the fees instead of stressing what is already included, such as the beach chairs, umbrella etc…
