Hotel Oceano
Great location. Can’t be closer to the beach than this. Affordable place, nice, clean, lots of options for dining and shopping. Very good breakfast included. Out of season is easy to find parking, paid during the day and free from 8pm to 8am. Some options for free parking away from the beach.

Our apartment was a good size. The shower handle was broken and the heated towel rack did not work. The breakfast was very average.
