The location is not a front ocean view. But you can walk to the beach area or short drive to the beach. The inside is nice. The pool is heated- nice. The breakfast is ok good coffee. It’s worth the price

The room was great, the staff was delightedly helpful and breakfast was good. The only thing that I think could be improved is the landscaping and the look of it from the front. We were a little concerned when we drove up because it looks rather rundown and unkempt. Once we stepped inside, we were pleasantly surprised at how helpful the gentleman at the desk was and how lovely our room was.

The pictures are very deceiving. Property is being renovated and the TV wasn’t working at times. My girls did love the warm pool and the continental breakfast. Everything else was meh 😏 But the scenery and town was beautiful.
