"What a beautiful setting right on Moonstone beach, feet away from the small boardwalk and beach/cliffs. Some rooms have beautiful ocean views. They are slowly remodeling the rooms and we were in one of the newly redone ones. It was very spacious with extremely high-end finishes and tastefully done. Bed was very comfortable with pillowtop. Bathrooms were beautiful. Once all the rooms are completed I'm sure this will be a top destination."
