f the ocean and many choices of places to eat from. We really enjoyed our stay! My only complaint would be access to morning coffee, the machines were rarely working properly when I went for my morning cappuccino. I was able to walk across the street and purchase one though. WI highly recommend this resort to others and would go there again!
