Great for the price
Everyone at this hotel was super friendly and helpful. The location is great. Right on Hip Strip, across the street from Doc's Beach, one of the best in the area, convenient walking to shops and dining. Room nothing too special but was spacious and clean. Overall happy with what I got for the price.

Nice and safe and fun
My daughter stayed at this resort. She is in her twenties and is single. She felt safe here and enjoyed the beach. She said it was luxurious compared to the cheaper hotel she stayed at before.

Funeral Visit
When we arrived they had no SUPERIOR ROOMS,which I had reserved.They put us in a suite;the air conditioning was only in the bedroom and was inadequate.The light at the bar was not working.The refigerator was heavily frosted and had an ice tray stuck in the frost.When we complained they showed no sympathy(were contentious)and talked only of charging us for 2 nights if we left....so we left.

The good, bad, & scared
I was only there for one night. I would not recommend for any longer. I know that this is not what I am accustom to when we say service. The workers were very pleasant but they were doing the best they could with what they had to work with.

Doctors Cave Beach Hotel
Nice hotel. Rooms are a little old. Beds are relatively hard. Internet is clumsy: have to buy a 60 minute pass from the desk and the wireless only works in the main lobby, bar and poolside. The indoor locations are dimly lit. Not that suited for business travel. More for the traveller who wants to stay close to the action in a central location. Not much parking but convenient.

Worst hotel ever!
The hotel rooms smelt horrible and by the time i arrived my room was not ready despite the fact that it was 6 pm and they indicated that check in time was 3 pm. 10 minutes after getting into my room, i heard this pounding noise on my door " house keeping, house keeping" turns out the cleaning lady had forgotten to leave towels in my room.
