This is my second time at the property. I love the location and the rooms are clean. We had an issue with the air conditioner didn’t work for the last two nights we were there. They did send up a portable air conditioner and I was very grateful for that! Although I love the pool after a beach day I do wish the water was cleaner. Overall an ok stay
