Breakers Resort & Beach Bar

Breakers Resort & Beach Bar

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed it, it was clean. Very friendly staff and nice location and amenities. The breakfast was better than your typical continental breakfast. The only reason I put four stars is because the musty mildew smell is strong. They do have room dehumidifiers but the smell is still strong throughout and came home with us on our clothes."
