Absolutely worth it!
Pros:

The property was clean and comfortable. This location is not on the beach side but it is within walking distance

Cons:

This property has access to the sister hotels which is great! However walking to the sister hotel for front desk and ice was not ideal. Thankfully it’s not a far walk.

It was ok but over priced .
Pros:

The beach and pool

Cons:

Not many staff around. One person helped tremendously. Very helpful with helping with luggage, restaurant suggestions and just an all around great person. Name was DJay. It would have been so difficult for my friend and I if we didn’t have DJay. What an asset!!

Hard to lock main door. smoking allowed in common area, tv service in bedroom didn’t work, hard futon couch in living area. This room should have never been available to stay in.
