We stayed here for a week recently and enjoyed it. We had a kitchenette room which was up to date, very nice, clean, and cute too. The breakfast was good and had a good selection to pick from. We loved the location on the beach and we spent a lot of time under the gazebo eating breakfast and enjoying the view. It was also a good spot to stay cool and see dolphins swim by. Overall we enjoyed this place and would stay here again.
