we love the on the ocean feeling! It’s built like you are in a boat. Beachy vibe and close to the wharf which is nice to walk. Pool & gas fire pits are wonderful. Just a great setting! Staff is outstanding and very helpful & outgoing! they get a 10++. There were charges on our bill that were from previous guests- they apologized and reversed them right away. it was a glitch. I always try to book this in a flash sale😎
