This was our second stay there and will definitely go back. The location is great and there is plenty of well-maintained beach area to enjoy. The room was large, clean and updated. However, the view from the room left a lot to be desired. We booked a standard room so we didn't have expectations one way or the other, but the window was located chest-up (bottom half was wall) and overlooked the roof of the restaurant. We did have a partial view of the ocean, but only if you looked out the corner. The Rum Runner (water taxi) and free shuttle were great amenities to have!
