Everything about the property was awesome. Very clean and well kept. The only downside was it was difficult finding parking due to very minimal amounts of spots and people taking up 2 parking spots. A majority of it was for compact vehicles. We kinda had to make our own parking in the garage where there was available space. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Océan view made it worth the work.

Access to hotel was not convenient and I found it challenging to find entrance. Driveway was small and congested. Service was friendly and accommodating. Ordered food from outside delivery and had to come to lobby to pick up order left on a random table as service was not allowed to come to room which was inconvenient. Beautiful ocean view and room.
