"We had a great stay! The room was newly renovated, and I believe we were either the first guests to stay in it or very close to it. Everything was extremely clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great with easy, close access to the beach. 🌊 The hotel is still under construction, so not all of the hotel or amenities are available yet. Right now, it’s basically just the room, but that didn’t bother us for our stay. Once everything is finished, I think this is going to be an amazing place to stay! We would definitely come back. 😊"
