Overall, our experience was very good. our room 252 smelled like old carpet, every time we entered the room we had to leave the door and windows open to let the air changes.

Stayed here during our honeymoon 44 years ago. Nice place and view. Stairs down to beach need to be repaired so people can access the beach. For the high price, no breakfast included. You are mainly paying to be on the ocean.

We loved our trip and stay here, it was beautiful!! The restaurant was convenient and good! Our room for the price was a little outdated, the bed was hard and the two chairs seemed dirty and when you sat in them you sank, so the table provided was then too tall! Loved! Loved! the balcony facing the ocean ♥️
