Wonderful pet friendly experience!
Pros:

Pet friendly - dog bed, bowls & pooper scooper along with bin all supplied! Upon check we were given surprise doggy bag for the dogs with treats, a ball each & poo bags. Room was very clean, nicely furnished & quite roomy. A sliding door opened up onto a grassy area for toileting the dogs & also gave you a view of the golf course. Didn't get to experience the pool gym & tennis courts; maybe next time!
Loved the 12pm checkout 😊

Lovely staff every time I stay here. Nice, clean rooms with a short drive to the beach or downtown.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good and quick. Big portions so I shared with my mom. The location is nice but will have to drive into the city or beach if you were looking for walking distance.

Cons:

No complaints here.

Cons:

The blind fell on me nearly missing my head as I was closing the blind at night ,so as to shut off the light coming into our room from the car park . That resulted in a sleepless night.

Quite stay in a beachside town
Pros:

Proximity to the beach.

Cons:

The urban view was of a parking lot, for the cost it would have been nice to have the ability to sit on a balcony and enjoy a view.
