Photos are a lie!
Cons:

Bookings photo is a lie. There is fake grass and a public walkway between the room door and the beach. Google reviews gives it 1out of 5 star, yet Booking gives it 8 out of 10? I requested cancelation, did not stay there, but was charged $105 on my credit card! Very dissatisfied.

Great Place to Stay
Pros:

Great Stay. The staff are great, and the restaurant is one of the best in town. The prices were reasonable and the parking readily available with a little store nearby. Can't stress how welcoming the staff was.

Pros:

Breakfast available in restaurant for very reasonable prices ($10 USD for both of us with omelets, coffee and toast)! Food was quite tasty with good selection. Right on the beach and promenade. The upstairs dining area with perfect views of the ocean right in front of you is a bonus. Staff all spoke very good English and were very attentive. Good value for the price

Cons:

Noise between our room and the ones on either side was very noticeable. Few items on menu not available for whole stay, but most of it was.

Very cool spot on the beach with a restaurant and pool.
Pros:

We loved the whole area. You arrive through the front door at reception which is also a restaurant area, open the doors to the backyard: There is a pool in the center with the rooms on both sides. At the end of the pool you can see the ocean and they have a raised seating area that allows you to look quite far. Beautiful view. There is a boardwalk all along the beach behind Big Daddy's. Great place to stay! We would stay again!

Cons:

It needs some attention. The walls need to be washed, some need to be repainted. The shower curtain in our room was covered in mold. The mattress (which was super comfortable) also had a lot of staining or possibly mold along the edges. We only saw that because the sheet had come undone. We did mention it to the staff and showed them photos. Hopefully it got rectified.
