I loved my stay! Wouldn't have changed anything. The first room we had was oceanfront we had a great view and 1 minute from beach. The second room was a suite which had more room and the kids loved it! There was also a jolly rogers nearby with rides just for the kids age group! Not to mention we were practically right across from a McDonald's and burger king! We will definitely be back next year!
