The seawall is about 100 feet across. Walk across the seawall to the beach, which is 10 to 15 feet lower.

"The hotel and pool area were nice, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. There were no toiletries in our room, and the problem was quickly resolved. However, there were spots of blood in the bathroom; when we complained to the manager he seemed disinterested, though he did say he'd have it cleaned. The shuttle to the cruise port was miserable, and we weren't told we'd have to make a reservation. The drivers were nice, but we had to wait about a half hour each way. We won't be staying here again.2016-09-25"
"Perfect location. Great hotel and staff. Beautiful pool with an awesome slide for kids. This is the best-looking place on the strip.2016-08-05"
