Relaxing, comfortable stay near beach and plentiful eating establishments!
Pros:

One of the main reasons, besides reasonable price and location, we chose Axos was that it included breakfast. The breakfast turned out to be both plentiful and excellent allowing for each of our different tastes. Great choice!

Cons:

The main concern we had was parking as we were renting a car for the week. There was no reserved parking, which could be an issue in the busy months. It turned out we found street parking each day and for a few Euros we could have parked nearby.
