The lady that answered the phone was rude. And one of the guys cleaning rooms was rude to my elderly aunt. Cut her off to get in his car.

I would recommend this place. They are great.
Pros:

The breakfast was great, and clean. I believe she's the owner who helps do breakfast and you can tell she cares very much and is a great host with extremely friendly staff. I would highly recommend this anyone. Great with suggestions on food and entertainment.

Cons:

The only thing I could even say was if I was trying to be a critic would be the beds are a tad too soft for my taste but it still wasn't an issue.

Pros:

Breakfast, bicycles, kayaks all included. The pool area was beautiful. And of course the beach was spectacular across the street. So many exceptional places to eat close by.

Cons:

I didn't like that we only had two towels and had to go to the front desk to ask for more. And the floor was dirty and sticky.
