Very nice
Pros:

I like that it was non smoking and it didn't smell like weed. Last year I stayed at a hotel just down the road and they had a bachelor party and that's all the did was smoke weed. We had to move our room because I was getting sick.

Cons:

There was a party next door of women that were loud but it didn't last to long.

Beautiful landscape horrible food.
Pros:

The beach was beautiful but there were no fire pits or chairs as advertised

Cons:

The “breakfast” was aweful for the price of the hotel
Legit grain sludge. Nothing but carbs. No meats and protein no fresh food.
