beach holiday magic
Pros:

great location; our room was described as 'partial ocean view' but we could see all the down the beach and much of the ocean; note that we were on the Diamond Street side and it was a bit noisy with delivery trucks. The staff at the front desk and especially at the restaurant was sensational. We loved the pool and the cafe. The food is nothing special, the drinks were good, the atmosphere most lovely, the service near perfection.
