"The ocean was not visible from our room. We looked out on the back of an old, closed church.
That said, the location was excellent, close to shops and wonderful restaurants, a short walk to the lagoon and a slightly greater walk to the ocean.
The staff were terrific, knowledgeable and very helpful."
