5/5 - Excellent

Not crowded. Easy to "social distance" on this beach. Grateful we were in a city where they let people peacefully sit on the beach.

8.4/10 Very Good! (326 reviews)
Shower didn’t drain fast enough. So you are ankle deep in water pretty quickly. The door key pads also don’t work quite right. Some touches don’t register and even when they make a tone that they do, for some reason they don’t. The whole kiosk check in process doesn’t run smoothly either.
Other than that they’ve done enough to make it look pretty enough for a picture.
