great locationlounging areaocean viewrude staffparking finepoor communication
the location is really great because it is right on the beach. there is also a designated area for lounging on a grass section. the restaurant overlooked the beach and ocean, it was lovely.
the staff at check in were not very friendly. i also got a parking fine because the staff did not give me a hanger for my car to indicate i was staying at the hotel. they told me to email the hotel reception and said they would void the ticket!
