“With direct beach access and an oceanfront location, the hotel obviously emphasizes its coastal setting. The heated pool is a draw during cooler months, and the on-site restaurant, BLU, provides an exclusive dining option. I think it's a solid choice for families seeking a relaxed beach vacation, particularly those traveling with pets.”
