The proximity to the ocean and the set up and layout of this hotel can NOT be beat. Staff was so friendly and helpful and lovely. The daily breakfasts were also lovely and made starting each day relaxing and scenic. The outdoor dining is unmatched because of the beauty and quaint design of hotel. I recommend a 1st floor room - each private patio is steps away from the pool, the beach, and the restaurant. So convenient and so charming. An excellent value.
