Beautiful location and room overlooking the ocean. Construction ongoing to renovate but not much inconvenience. Lunch was disappointing at the restaurant but the views were spectacular. Bell service was slow.

Great place for family! Some renovations happening currently, but still an awesome environment. Not a great beach access, but we saw whales off the coast and manta rays can be spotted in front of the hotel as well.
