Merits its 3-star rating. Delightfully friendly staff who are genuinely interested in each guest, sharing their sense of humor and happy to help with tourist info or just sharing a slice of life. Preceding universally true except for restaurant staff, who seemed harried and not very attentive, and (strangely) the concierge team, who were friendly enough but who often couldn't provide same quality of advice as the general staff. Room was comfortable and reasonably furnished. Sound of running water from showers on above and below floors came through very loud at any/all hours. Main light and fan controls unconventional and took a few days of trial and error to master. Even at the lowest setting the A/C was too chilly, but room became too warm without it. Bathroom was always clean and functional, but could have used a refresh in the last few years. Beach was easily accessible and attending staff were friendly (see above). No fish/turtles, although they were present at adjacent property (Black Rock). Overall, the generally great staff overcame the shortcomings.
