The hotel provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. EVERYTHING I needed for the beach, WOW. An outdoor shower helped wash off sand. The pool was well-kept. The staff were both helpful and excellent. I was charmed by the warm welcome.
There was no elevator, a little difficult with my luggage, sadly.
