Clean room, loved the balcony view of the beach and pool. Enjoyed spending time on the pool deck, relaxing in the sun. Only stayed 2 nights so didn’t get to partake of the amenities such as s’mores, bikes, jacuzzi etc but appreciated the fact they were offered. Staff friendly and professional, especially the valets.
