"Clean room with beach access. Nice outdoor pool that they kept clean while we were there. Beach chairs have to be rented. Restaurant connected to the hotel was very nice. Biggest complaint is the elevator situation in the hotel. Only 2 elevators and everyone uses them, including housekeeping. Just plan to wait if it’s busy during your stay."
