The breakfast buffet had a good variety. I found the staff to be helpful . My room featured an ocean view and a private balcony. The hotel offered complimentary transportation to the beach.

The fitness center was unavailable because it was reserved. The mattress in my room felt hard, like a cheap mattress.
