The ocean was visible from my second room. The pool was excellent. When we were looking for a place to stay we were attracted by the pictures but there were quite a few bad reviews. We decided to try it for one night. We were very pleased with the room and pool. Wanted to stay one more night as a result. We had to move rooms but the staff made it easy and were so friendly.
