However, there are reports of tar on the beach and a lack of amenities such as beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. Additionally, some rooms offer a view of the oil rig and support ship moored off the beach, but regardless, the location and property are loved by many guests. The beach may not be perfect, but the kind hospitality and sensational location are sure to provide an unforgettable stay.
