The Baywatch Resort
Had a lovely stay. Only mishap was not the fault of the hotel. A car ran into the power pole in front of the building and there was no electricity for a few hours.

For the money it was better than expected. Great location with a marvelous walking trail directly behind building and what looks to be a fun pirates cove park next to building. Staff very nice. Great parking in a safe area.
