Pros (+) Location was great, staff was great across the board. My room was 50 steps from the included beach chairs and umbrella set up by a attentive staff every morning.

Ohh and the complimentary bikes that will get you to st Armand's in min was a huge...
Cons (-) Wish there was a high top table on the lani to open up the beautiful ocean view for morning coffee!

The staff was great but cannot make up for the bad rooms. Note that this was the seco...
