"The hotel was nice and had beautiful views of the ocean. The room was much bigger than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise! It was within walking distance of local restaurants, and the beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to get down to the sand and enjoy the ocean. Overall, it was a great location!"
