Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Hotel was in a good spot and room was good size, but the floor needs to be mopped. The first day I got there, I walked around the room in brand new socks and the bottoms were black within 10 min. I took a wet rag across the floor and it turned black. Looks like it never gets mopped. Might want to have a talk with housekeeping.

This is by far the best place I have ever stayed at. It was super clean and just beautiful. We had a great view. The staff was friendly and helpful. Even the other people staying there were friendly. It was a pretty low key place. Family and pet friendly. The beach wasn’t overcrowded. We were able to walk to a few of the restaurants. Shopping and other activities were just a short drive away. I would definitely stay there again.
