Absolutely beautiful hotel. The minute I walked into my room and saw the stunning ocean I was in awe. To wake up to that view every morning was breathtaking. The buffet breakfast was awesome, everything was delicious and the variety of food was great. I will be returning to this hotel. Couldn’t ask ...
