Breakfast was outstanding, ample variety carefully prepared. Room was very appointed with balcony to rest. Staff went beyond expectation to make certain that we are in comfort. Although the ocean is a little walk away, the pool is always available, meticulously clean. Thank you for a great stay! Fully recommended,,,
