The hotel and grounds are amazing. Its proximity to the shore is determined by the room you choose. We chose a less expensive room, however, due to a mix-up, we were provided with a wonderfully large room overlooking the ocean. I was impressed with the kindness shown by the staff and the amenities provided.
