Wonderful and will be back next year!!
Pros:

The atmosphere was fabulous— the box with extra beach stuff was helpful! Clean and friendly staff!

Cons:

Wish the roof top bar was open for our vacation. I would consider new pans for the suites- junk pans where everything sticks…

Pros:

Great space for a family of 4. Location was great, just walking distance to St. Johns pass, where there is shopping, restaurants and other activities for families. Beach front location and pool was great as well.

Just wish the kitchen had more supplies in it for cooking, such as an extra frying pan and mixing bowls.
