Beach

The hotel is not directly on the beachfront, but guests can reach the shoreline in about 5 to 10 minutes by passing through neighboring properties, such as the Best Western or Ivy Wall Resort.

Parking

Some reviews point out that the parking is tight and can present challenges, especially for those with larger cars. While there is parking available, guests might find the limited space restrictive. Overall, it can accommodate vehicle needs, but expectations should be adjusted for easier management.
