a awesome beachfront experience!

beachfront locationcomplimentary upgradeattentive staff
I was so impressed with this hotel's beachfront location! it made every morning special. i got a complimentary upgrade to a signature ocean view room and it was fine. The balcony was perfect! the staff were attentive too, even arranging a late check-out so i could enjoy the beach longer. dining at the island trader was amazing. I loved the fresh fish and omelets!
