We had a great stay! The gentleman in the office was friendly, thorough, and a Raiders fan hehe… The rooms were spacious, clean and well stocked. The kids loved the pool and spa! The location was great! It was quiet in the morning and evening. Balcony had a distant view of the beach. I will stay ...

The property is split. We end up in a roon across from the office.We requested a first floor room because my wife just had back surgery. we got a "first floor" room but had to take a elevator to get to it. Otherwise, the room was a good value. ,
