No lounge chairs at the pool, so we couldn't lay out and sun bathe. No jacuzzi. Water temperature was warm, though.

The room was comfortable and clean (although the bathtub could have used an additional wipe down). The staff were nice and it was a great location to beautiful ocean views and amenities. It was warm but there is an AC and fan.
