Second time we have stayed here. Great location and great property. Only issue we had this time was people leaving the bars at 2 & yelling & arguing while walking down the boardwalk was annoying. Not the properties fault, just annoying for a Friday and Saturday middle of the night wake up.

Nice staff, clean room, but most importantly fantastic location. While I was nervous that there was limited on site dinning, there were a tone of great restaurants and bars within a five minutes walk. The pool and beach/ocean views were impressive.
