Thanks for quick replies. I did not realize end of Nov. was so busy. So I will book asap! In fact all the hotels i mentioned are all in the same price range considering specials being offered w/wo breakfast. Beach location in terms of town or cliffs doesn't really matter. Pool also doesn't matter since we love the beach. What i was looking for was just some advice based on personal experience. Have read online reviews but a boardie's recommendation carries a lot of weight.
