"Incredible stay. The location is fantastic. It was such a pleasure being steps to the beach and the complimentary beach gear was so amazing so you could really enjoy the full experience. Even had boogie boards and sand toys! So many places to eat within walking distance it was hard to choose! Beautiful sunsets, and the staff were all amazing. The daily activities for guests and the kids felt above and beyond. The adult hot tub temp was nice and hot, with a cooler one for the kids. Free underground parking out of the heat. The property grounds were all very clean and orderly. Some other reviews I noticed talked about rooms needing updating, but in my experience updates usually come with price increases so be careful what you wish for! I will take it as-is anyday over a higher price with some new grout. We cant wait to return."
