Review Score:   6
Summary: Room and bathroom were very spacious, staff were very accommodating, and 5-7 min walk to beach so fabulous location. Only reason why score is lower is party was going on one of nights and feel they could’ve let us know that music was going to be blaring no matter where you were in the hotel! Also, service outside of breakfast is very slow and forgot to put our lunch order thru so waited over an hour - although they did comp it which was decent of them.
