Pros (+) We loved being on the ocean. The location was fantastic for enjoying sea life and kayaking. We also liked the kindness of the staff.
Cons (-) The bed and the pillows could have been more comfortable. The cables around the balcony were also unsightly, but the view and ambience made up for it.
