Great view of beach with clean room. It’s a great place I come back to every year with some kind staff, however, sometimes it’s is difficult to go up and down floors because an elevator will shut down here and there. They also only have one ice machine located at the bottom floor so it’s kind of annoying. I recommend aiming for a floor closer to the bottom floor if you stay here. I loved the bar and location though, they just need to fix up the amenities with the amount we spent to stay there.
