The front desk people were cheerful, it is very handy that the have beach chairs, umbrella's, towels, & beach toys for the kids so that you don't have to pack all of that stuff along & you can still enjoy yourself. It was also nice that the pool is heated and open late so that after the sun goes down & you come in from the beach you can relax in the heated pool. We also really enjoyed the restaurant that's connected to the hotel that is also on the ocean - what wonderful food & atmosphere. We didn't want to leave and we will most definitely be back!
