The location is unbeatable. I walked everywhere. The complimentary beach chairs and towels were a fantastic perk. I was able to explore the area using the hotel's free one-hour bike rental (a great way to see more of the surroundings). The staff stored my luggage securely upon early arrival.

The breakfast options were a bit limited.
