The proximity of the beach was the reason we booked this hotel. It did not disappoint - the beach is right off the hotel pool deck, just a few steps away! The pool area was great as well. Only complaint was the staff at the rental hut were generally not very pleasant - it always felt like we were inconveniencing them when we wanted to rent something (beach chairs, pool cabana, boogie boards, jet skis).
Based on the reviews, we were very concerned about the room, but to our surprise our room was fantastic!! We stayed in room 824 (suite) and it had clearly been renvovated as all the furniture and fixtures were new and modern. And our view was AMAZING. The balcony was fine, but would have been even better if the furniture was more comfortable.
The construction next door was a little annoying, but not terrible. We couldn't really notice when inside our room, but could at the pool and beach. It was only going 8-5 so not at night.
Overall, we were very pleased with the hotel!! Loved the beach and pool, room was great! Great for our family of five.
