The Sunny
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Front desk and valet were accommodating. -able to obtain a late check out and early check in. -stored our rented bikes. (They were supposed to have some on site but helped set up a rental) Food by pool/beach was great! The drinks were a bit overpriced ...
