"The beach in front of the hotel was barely existent due to high tide the entire weekend, but they have beach chairs and beach service regardless which was nice."
"The restaurant is one of the best on the island - we were pleasantly surprised when asking at a couple beach bars / clubs about dinner recommendations."
