We came here for a birthday celebration and had a wonderful experience! The entire site is welcoming and comfy, from the indoor viewing area of the ocean with plenty of seating to the multiple outdoor couches and seating areas. The staff is friendly and attentive. I asked for a specific floor after booking and because we were celebrating my birthday the manager gave us a tour of the facility and upgraded us from the first floor to a 3rd floor room with an awesome view of the entire view of the bay and even comped us a welcome drink and app! The rooms are well appointed and the views to the ocean were beautiful! I can’t say enough good things about our stay at this hotel!
