Pros:

I liked the beach being right behind the building and some room face the water. Our room was an interior room with no windows and close to the elevator and facility office which was very noisy. The room was spacious and clean except no place to set suitcase so you can open and get clothes except on the bed. If we stay here again I will definitely ask for exterior room.

Cons:

I didn't like my room location due to it being noisy and had no windows to outside. The only window faced the walkway where all guests go to their rooms. The window did not have view of outside at all felt closed in.

Primera y ultima vez
Pros:

La cama super comoda.

Cons:

El servicio no lo que esperaba, hice check in bien tarde a las 10 de la noche, llame para pedir si podian ponerme un bucket de hielo pq era el cumpleaños de mi esposo y queria hacer algo bonito en el cuarto, la chica me dijo que tenia que yo misma cuando llegara coger el hielo. El baño super incomodo. Justo frente a la habitacion toda la basura de todo el piso. Para el precio no fue lo que espera. Me hubiera quedado en cualquier otro mas economico y obtendria lo mismo o mejor. Pregunte si el parking era gratis en la calle y me dijo que si. Al llegar al carro una multa de 50 dolares. Todo pesimooooooo.

Beautiful property on a beautiful y
Pros:

We absolutely loved this property. It was clean and well kept.

Cons:

The ONLY issue we had was the bathroom was fairly small. You had to shimmy around the toilet to close the door and bathing kids was cramped. Overall we managed.
