8/10 Good
"Convenient location to shopping, food, beaches. Outdoor pool is basic but goes to 6 ft and was a hit with the kids. Several outdoor tables, lounge chairs and umbrellas for outside dining, working and supervising the kids in the pool (no lifeguard) . Bummed breakfast wasn’t included but I’m a sucker for that."
