the superior double room ocean view was very spacious and clean. the bed provided restful nights. the access to the beach felt exclusive. the staff surprised us with a delicious cake and champagne, it was for our wedding anniversary and such a sweet surprise.
finding places to dine nearby in the evening required a short drive. i had hoped for more dining options within walking distance of the hotel.

early closing average food
I found some aspects less than stellar. the absence of readily available coffee early in the morning was a definite drawback. I had to boil water in my room just to get a cup at 6:30 am. the sunset bar's early closing time at 6 pm also limited options for an evening drink. the italian restaurant looked promising, but the food was only average, a bit disappointing.
