The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. I liked that bottled water was included. The reserved beach chairs and umbrellas were nice, and the guys who set them up were also nice. The Propery is a little dated but the room was clean. I wished the room had a full length mirror but overall I enjoyed my stay.

Pictures on internet deceiving . It is an older hotel that has been updated . Main building is across the street from beachfront pool and 2 other buildings. Staff was great. Nice amenities like umbrella and 2 beach chairs,pool and beachfront bar restaurant. Gym is pretty bad. Very small and can really only handle 4 ot 5 people. Location of resort is nice. We had a king suite and it was huge. 2 bathrooms and ton of space. The living room had a sofa and chair that looked like they were from the 80s. 49 dollar resort fee which is annoying but at least you do get some amenities for the added cost. I just wish resorts would.just put that cost into the price of the room.

Cute hotel. Super outdated. The staff at check in was not the greatest. Location to the beach is great. Pool area is great. Had a cheeseburger at the bar restaurant and that was good.

The room was clean for the most part but the bed rails that were upholstered fabric were dirty and worn. The linens were clean and comfortable. The room had a cute beachy vibe.

Initial room had damp musty carpet and I am allergic to mold. They did give a free upgrade to a bungalow that had no carpet. Much better. Bathrooms and outdoor bar area not maintained well after they open for business. Trash stacked up in trash cans and bathrooms appear to not be cleaned after the new day begins. Great location though.
