We stayed in November 2003 and were very satisfied. We loved the view and were just disappointed that it was such a long walk down the beach from where the restaurants and action were. With a baby we couldn't be away from the hotel that long at one time. Great big window overlooking the blue-green sea and it was a good thing we had that ocean breeze - to air out the smokey room! I would stay there again (service was great, hotel was charming, bed was most comfortable hotel bed (soft) I've ever slept in) but I would put a blanket under the door to keep out others' smoke. Sometime in the middle of the night it got really smoky and I couldn't sleep and by morning I got a headache. I'm assuming it was somebody smoking next door, cuz it was fine when we got there.
