I didn’t give 5 stars because I had anticipated a bath in the apartment. The sauna, spa and pool was great. Not a lot of parking. Beach is right across the street, and all the shopping nearby.

Excellent location plus ocean view. Shower is located over a spa. Not an issue for us, but could possibly be an inconvience for anyone with physical challenges. We enjoyed our stay.

It is obvious this property relies on its location to attract customers. The facilities are average and poorly maintained. Laminex surfaces badly chipped, metal corroded and patching of damaged walls obvious. Just a place to sleep!
