Oceancliff Resort I & II
"Hello, we just stayed two nights in the one bedroom condo. The condo is outdated, but clean. The pool was not working and the bedroom windows were on the walkway and everyone can see inside your room. Not much for food in the area and downtown was 15-20 mins away. WiFi was working on and off."
