Enjoyed the surroundings, and the ocean front was fabulous. Unfortunately there is no place to store your clothes (no closet or dresser) and housekeeping was spotty. All in all the restaurant staff were wonderful and I’d stay there again.

My daughter was the one staying so she could see her brother. She said having the beach so close by was amazing! The staff they watched over her so she felt safe! She loved her mini getaway she was sad unfortunately the pools were out of commission when she was there but saw they got to working on them fast!

Staff was not very helpful and many of the resort amenities were not available for use even though they were listed online. The room we booked listed two queen size beds but they were queen size bed frames with two full mattresses that didn’t fit the frames which led to us banging our knees on the corner of them.

Good for kids and bad breakfast
Everything is good, hotel is placed exactly in the beach but only bad thing is they have useless breakfast for $24 which is not worth it. Even cheaper hotels give great hot breakfast. Avoid BF here and enjoy the BF in the place called donut hole which is nearby.

Decent property for couples or families.
Clean, but a bit dated. Couldn’t access a main area due to construction. Also, some areas were not open as advertised (pool bar and grill) and there was not live music every night (1 night only and we stayed 6 nights). Nice location and gorgeous beach.

Loved the location directly on the beach. Really liked the breakfast buffet & onsite restaurant. Its obvious they're trying to keep the property up to date. Didn't like the caution tape blocking pathways with no posted detour routes (you just had to walk around figuring it out).
