"Very nice hotel! I would say surprisingly good for fear priced dog-friendly beach hotel. Clean, modern enough. The only problem we had - when I talked to the hotel front desk week or two ahead and asked about the amenities and pool availability, they “forgot” to tell me that the pool will be closed. Since we came for the relaxed beach/pool vacation it kind of ruined our plans. Weather also was bad, but I can’t blame the hotel for that."
