The Beachcomber

8/10 Good
"During check-in, their system for key cards was down so we didn’t have independent access to the room until later than expected. There didn’t seem to be enough staff on property and one woman working the front seemed to be the “go to” for all issues- housekeeping, check-in, etc. There was known construction in the courtyard, that was minimally disruptive. Lobby was clean and smelled wonderful. Room was larger than expected. Beach access is wonderful and so gorgeous! Although we did not utilize due to time, having the next door Hilton amenities as an option was nice as well (gym, pool, etc) Overall, would stay again"
