Positive: Location was perfect, room was clean and comfortable. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Negative: The room’s only windows were floor to ceiling doors out onto a public deck. In order to have privacy, the curtains were drawn for much of my stay.
Summary: Overall lovely stay, but would ensure a room that looked out to the surrounding area/beach.
