There's a light on the air conditioning unit to show the temperature that lights up the entire room. Very distracting while trying to sleepAlso, you could use some more hooks in the bathroom, but otherwise it was great. Staff was nice. Location was wonderful. Pool was enjoyable.

Room was nice and clean, we had an adjoining room and also outside was the ice machine so it was a little noisy. But for the price and location it was good.

Super close to the beach, only about a 3 minute walk. Awesome places to each near by and cool things to explore. Room was a little underwhelming but was ok. Not very sound proof.
