I am rating the hotel as just average because the entire place was under construction and this was not disclosed to me. I would have stayed somewhere else. Housekeeping was excellent but the noise and no pool or hot tub access was pretty bad. The manager move our room which helped a bit. I just feel for the price it should have delivered what was promised
Beds were very comfortable

View of the ocean was amazing! Disappointed that pool and hot tub area was closed due to construction—was not aware when booking and not notified upon checking in. We could hear noise from rooms above us and when anyone was walking by our door. Area around hotel was fantastic.
