Pros (+) The staff was very nice, and you can’t beat the location
Cons (-) Hasn’t been updated since it was built. It’s like stepping into a time warp

Pros (+) It is a great location right on the beach. Everyone was friendly. Lots of pool floats at the pool
Cons (-) It is an older location. If you want a new place, this is t for you. If you mainly care about going to the beach and swimming and don’t care that it’s old, this should meet your needs.
