A lovely stay in a friendly and well located spot.
Pros:

We loved that the hotel is right on the boardwalk. The staff were so friendly and welcoming - a happy vibe! Our room was comfortable. Walking distance to some good eateries. Lovely pool area.

Cons:

The lighting in our room could have been better. Breakfast was good but the dinner choices weren’t great.
