“Being right on the beach means you can step out and feel the sand beneath your feet, with easy parking just steps away. The friendly staff make themselves readily available, and the views from the balconies, especially those facing the ocean, are truly a worthwhile indulgence. Even the family suites offer surprising spaciousness, and the option to sleep with the balcony door open to the sound of the waves is a simple, yet profound, pleasure.”
