I had an excellent stay at the hotel, thanks to the fantastic staff and beautiful beach access. The room was larger than I expected and clean, providing a comfortable retreat. While I appreciated the overall experience, I was disappointed by a moment with one staff member during check-in, which did stick out amidst the great service offered by others. The pool area was inviting and enjoyable, making it a perfect place to relax after a day at the beach.
