The hotel has been refurbished but it still has it's original charme and could still serve as the set for an oldfashioned James Bond Movie. The service is outstanding. -
Do yourself and relax on this end of the beach. $20 for a chair and $20 for an umbrella or $100 for a queen bed with umbrella. It's worth it -
Still the best hotel on the beach. Unsurpassed service, great views, spacious suites & rooms, pools, retail shops and a spa. You never have to leave the property to get the full SOBE experience. -
