Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good
"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."
