The resort is very clean and well maintained. Lots of seating areas to have conversations. The outdoor hot tub was warm, gentle, and relaxing. There was also relaxing music playing. There are two pools one for families and another for adults. The beach is just steps away. You can rent a bike at the resort and head to the beach for a ride. It is $30 for 1 hour or $35 for 4 hours. The room was a nice comfortable size. We had a resort view, while not being ocean front was still a good view. We ordered breakfast in the restaurant and it was delicious!
