Such a great spot for a getaway. Check in was super easy and the personnel were thoughtful and accommodating. Even moved our room so we can have a superior view of the ocean. Walks to the pier and beach were so easy due to the hotel being on the beach and there were lots of great shops and restaurants close by. With the amazing view, we didn't even feel like we wanted to leave the room.
