9.4/10 Exceptional! (269 reviews)
Very nice place right on the beach. Staff was very friendly. I liked being a couple of blocks away from the party area. It was close enough to walk to but when you returned to the hotel it was quiet. There was also a grocery store a block away. In my book it really is a great location.

Great location, across from beach. Walking distance to restaurants. Breakfast has good variety, and beautiful view of beach with outside balcony. Rooms are basic, but very clean. AC works well. You can hear noise from street.
