Each room includes a TV with cable channels, a coffee machine, a refrigerator, and an en suite bathroom with a hairdryer and free toiletries. Linens and towels are also provided.

The room was an ocean view and stunning! Large space and immaculate. An unobstructed view of Sunrise/sunsets was amazing. Pricepoint extremely reasonable during the week. I absolutely loved opening my door and sitting in comfy chair on balcony looking out on beach.

    Great location, helpful staff, good breakfast (we had a voucher to spend each morning, this didn't cover the total bill but if we'd of opted for a bagel and coffee each it would of). The kids loved the pool. Laundry was a bonus! Nice and quiet at night in our room. I was worried after seeing some of the reviews, but we had a wonderful stay. Yes, you pay for parking, but we factored that into our budget. Try Pizza of my heart and penny ice creamery!
