“The oceanfront setting is a strong suit, with most rooms promising broad views from private balconies. Rising Tide, the onsite restaurant, has a certain appeal with its focus on seafood, though experiences seem to vary. It strikes me as a reasonable choice for families seeking direct beach access and a range of activities.”
