Very nice to have access to a beach area.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2017
We enjoyed our stay and had a pleasant time. Some basic items were missed. There are 5 light bulbs in the bath, 3 were non-functioning. Stayed 3 nights but we were only given 3 washcloths for the two of us. I know that these are petty items but just a little attention to the details would give a much better perception. The bed was very comfortable which was the key item.
