Nicely renovated older property with a 60s vibe. Right on the beach with excellent views. Our deck was nice, but not cleaned up like the rest of the hotel.

We enjoyed a great family vacation here. The food and service was great. I will say this place could use some upgrades, it is dated but the treatment you receive makes up for it.

The elevators didn’t work and we had to use the only one employee elevator which was hot and smelly at times. One of the waitresses at the Bongos beach bar was rude and racist. The elevator that went up to Spinners was hot and smelly. The windows were beyond dirty. The whole resort needs an upgrade. I’m not planning on going back.

One elevator was out of order and other elevator took forever and was very small. Room seemed dated and old. Bathroom was remodeled but hallways were dated and old looking.
