Our child enjoyed all of the Winter photos around the property. Having the beach right there was a plus. Hotel itself is average at best. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Hotel nearby has live music nightly and is very loud until late into the night. You get what you pay for, though. Staff was friendly. Parking was never a problem.
