"We had the absolute best time. We traveled with children and the hotel had stuff for them to use at the beach and also a nice pool they had an amazing time in. The beds were extremely comfortable and were decent size. There was also an outdoor shower that was useful to clean off any residual sand after using the nearby beach. The cookies in the afternoon were delicious and they had some great grab and go things for the morning. We will be back again and wonderful memories were made for all."
