The staff was helpful and very informative. my two boys used the pool table. It was a bonus. the beds were comfortable, and food choices were nearby. the location was right next to the beach, and that was great.
i found the hotel to be a bit jaded. my single room lacked storage space, even for hangers. for a short stay, it was ok, but longer stays might have been a problem. there were no hooks at all.
