The hotel was in a prime location! Love that it was so close to the beach and you could walk everywhere… It also had a free breakfast for our kids, which was great! I think my only few complaints would be no gym, small small pool and if you’re using the bathroom To get ready there is no door between you and the people Sleeping :(
