"This is the first time back at this hotel since the remodel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable beds and the bathroom was nice with two sinks and a nice shower. Our room was by the pool which at times can be a bit noisy with kids. This hotel use to offer breakfast with the reservation; it no longer does but now offers it for $25 per person.....that seems a bit ridiculous as there are several places within walking distance that have breakfast for much less. As always though....the ocean view is fabulous."
