We had a wonderful stay at the Marina. Our room felt brand new and was extremely clean. Large rooms and a full kitchen was great as we cooked nearly everyday. The cleaners were excellent at coming in and restoring the room to peak clean. Don’t miss the quiet beach just a few steps north of the property. We really enjoyed JPs bar and grill for excellent bar food and drinks.
