What a pleasant surprise! Delightful property; especially loved the pool. All the outdoor seating around the pool made it delightful for a happy hour in the summer evening. The breakfast at the cafe was also a plus. I also appreciated the microwave in the unit. The rooms were very updated and the foliage around the property made it feel like a private little oasis. I would definitely come again!

Loved the unique rooms and atmosphere-plants and greenery everywhere! Delicious coffee in the morning. The only negative were the skylights—they made the room a bit too bright at night. Otherwise it was perfect!

Super friendly staff. Our room was upgraded to overlook pool with an ocean an view. Super dog friendly. The pool service and environment was great. They were short on room cleaning staff so we only had maid service one of the three days of our stay. You can request turn down service. Room service food wise was restricted to a few hours a day. Everything was so close (beach, restaurants, etc). Complimentary shuttle to the racetrack. Overall excellent stay and we will be coming back.
