8. The only downside was the parking: $31 dollars for self parking/ $35 dollars for Valet.

9. Now, the downside: the parking is outrageous (why do hotels feel free to gouge their guests $28/day to self-park and $33/day for valet) the poolside bar is way too expensive, compared to the Tiki Bar just across the street.

"If you can't stay ON the beach... " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/14/2011 Vote

10. I guess the only downsides are the pricy internet ($14), the pricy valet parking and the location.
