"We were very pleased with the beach access. Icona provided beach badges and set up of beach chairs and beach umbrellas. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had an excellent vacation."
"I've never slept better on vacation!! The room was exactly what we needed as party of 3. One queen and one pull out sofa bed. We loved the convenience of the mini fridge and microwave which we did use! The balcony overlooking the ocean was 5 stars alone. So calm and peaceful with the pool below. My boys enjoyed the atmosphere which wasn't too crowded even for peak season. The shuttle was the GOAT as well which is a Gratuity service and well recommended to get downtown- Don, John, and Vlad all gave tips for "must do" and see places for whatever we desired.honestly only regret is we booked for additional nights because they were sold out and we couldn't extend our stay. Thank you for the hospitality MBR!!! We'll never forget it. "
