An authentic beach resort trip this is not. Both food and drink lack punch, but who can complain when Monday Margaritas are a mere $2? The happy hour is one of the best deals in town but sadly limited to the closet-like "Cantina" space. Go early or get stuffed out by the impenetrable crowd of frat boys and corporate drones.
