I found the location directly on the beach. The hotel has a very stylish structure. Restaurant food was good. I loved being able to walk right out to the beach. The two beaches are nice and paddle and kayak are available. The staff gave me a meal because of a storm. The beaches are amazing and relaxing. I did use a car to visit the surrounding area.
I noticed the shower design makes water go everywhere. It is not comfortable.
