The Happy Hour had great variety and great prices. Corey was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the neighborhood and services available to guests. He gave fantastic recommendations to our family. Guest Services was also ready to accommodate us when we arrived earlier in the day than we anticipated.

Very helpful front desk staff. Clean rooms. Our room was by the stairs and the electrical room. There was a very loud humming noise but we were too tired to move. We have a very rude and unhappy waitress in the dining room for breakfast and tried not to let it spoil the rest of our stay but it did set our day off on a bad start. Overall the hotel was nice. 👍 We would definitely stay there again and refer them to family and friends.

Resort is pretty and clean, rooms are lovely, and pool is small but very clean and towels are plentiful. Overall the resort is relatively affordable so the catch is the location being in an undesirable area that may feel Unsafe to some . No cafe, and hotel restaurant food was 2 stars at best, but pricey, so dining options are very limited during the day if you don’t want to leave the beach area. Umbrellas 30$ a day and only 2 chairs per room even if you are a family of 4. No beach service but wet Willie’s across the street will let you take slushies to go. If you arrive earlier than 4pm you have to pay 100$ to check in or wait until 4. We arrived at 10am and found it to be worth it but something to be aware of. Overall a comfortable stay, but would stay else where due to unavailability of dining options.

The room I booked off of hotels.com did not match the room we got at the hotel. It was supposed to be a master suite and the room I got was a junior suite. The room was supposed to have a walk in shower and be wheel chair accessible but was not. We also received dirty sheets one night after room service was supposed to change our sheets and clean the room.(picture below). I’m not really too disappointed with the hotel. More disappointed with hotels.com and misleading room selections.

Sean at the front desk was wonderful! He was very accommodating when my family had a rough travel day. All of the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was very nice and the view from our room was amazing. The surrounding area had several restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance as well.

The hotel staff was very friendly. Everything was clean. Some important things I wish I had realized sooner: only Valet parking is offered which is $51/night. Very minimal on street parking is around and requires you to pay every 4 hours. Two beach chairs are available for you to use but an umbrella is $30 more per day. It was my 9 year old son and I and ant times it did not feel very kid friendly - as if perhaps having a kid around was annoying to other guests. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
