Location cannot be beat. Great restaurant and beach access make this a winner, but don't come looking for fine finishes or furnishings.

Just steps from your room to the beach, room was good, AC excellent, bed and bedding really upgraded, bathroom, would be better if they change the toilets but otherwise small but adequate. Room had a separate living area. Overall a bit Rustic, with the best location to go to the beach, no long hallways or elevators, just steps to the beach. Restaurant was good!

It would be better if the restaurant offered COLD coffee. I guess its just my opinion cause the days I stayed the weather was 77F so it was good for coffee.
