Its an older property but they keep it up. Its located very well for walkablity around the village area. Parking is handy to have there but would warn there are not alot of spaces and its not set up for bigger vehicles like trucks or bigger SUVs. Big the people i had to talk to were very helpful and friendly. Only a few rooms have a beach view but its so close you don't cross any streets just down a walkway and you're on the beach. You can definitely hear the ocean.

There was no one at front desk when I got there just after 7 p.m. I had to call and wait for someone to come. However, the person who checked me in after arriving. Was, very courteous, accommodating, and professiona. The bathtub didn’t have a stopper, though. So, I had to improvise to block the water from draining. Just to have a bath. But, I did receive a Much larger than one I booked. Which was a nice surprise! Of course, the location of the hotel is amazing! Beautiful area. And, I got a late checkout which was very nice! I give 4.5 stars. Enjoyed my stay.
