Pros. The hotel was beautiful and we had great service! Our room faced the ocean and was very nice. Everyone was very friendly. We had lots of fun playing in the ocean, we even rented boogie boards.

Cons. Breakfast service wasn't great. Our waitress wasn't very helpful and we had to seek her out when we needed something as she never came to check on us. Food was very good though.
