“I think the greatest asset here is its proximity to the beach; imagine sliding open your window wall and stepping right onto the sand. It also seems close to shops and restaurants, so that guests can walk to get what they need. The staff's helpfulness, as well as Bert the parrot, appear to add a special element.”
