During my stay a staff member was rushing and went around my family up the beach stairs and bumped into my 2 year old and sent her head flying into the steps, she bled everywhere. I told the front staff about it and they went me up smores to apologize. It’s been months and there is a permanent scar. S’mores for a permanent scar on a 2 year old is insane. I have been looking into a lawyer for this.
