Very nice quiet spot if you’re looking for somewhere with amazing beach access and the pier/bar right next door is a huge plus! Booked this trip for an anniversary and having beach access at the hotel directly where it only took a few steps to be at the beach was wonderful! Very helpful staff too, definitely make sure to ask for food recommendations cause we got a stellar breakfast recommendation by the person at the front desk after we checked out! Definitely will be coming back the next time we’re in the OKI area :)
