Room was more than adequate with a Oceanview plus a hammock. Pretty cool! I got to see the sunset everyday. Beach was clean and the bed was comfortable. I'd go back there.

  • Put any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
