The second floor room with a partial ocean view was excellent although accessed by stairs. Our stay was short but someone staying longer could benefit from the full kitchen setup for some meals. Pool was closed for the day after our activities so not sure if heated. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was modern with nice features.

Road noise is outrageous for rooms right next to the main roadway, next to the property! I'm confident that the other rooms are far more quite and acceptable.
