"The outdoor area was super convenient for meals and the lounge coffee was perfect for an on-the-go morning. We didn’t have time to mini golf across the street but we’re super impressed it was included. The beach access wasn’t the nicest but it’s a reasonable walk to get to the nicer sand and park. The staff were fantastic."
