nice breakfast convenient box

The location is close to the beach.. it made trips easy. The room included shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion, so I did not need to bring any. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were helpful throughout my stay. I received a nice picnic box for my early check-out. It was very convenient.

The drainage in the bathroom was a little slow.
