The Sunny
We opted for the street view side of the building and still got some beautiful ocean in sight from our room window! Staff were wonderful and attentive. The amenities are currently being improved, but the pool and beach access were perfect for our stay.

Pool was very relaxing. Beach was a little far to walk to. I wished they had a shuttle to it
