Excellent food and beverages close to the beach. Stayed overnight before departing on a cruise. The staff were helpful and friendly but the accommodations were a bit basic for the price.
Best fish taco and beans and rice we’ve ever had anywhere! And the restaurant is beachside.

Staff was very friendly and courteous. We stayed on 5th floor of the main building. The carpet and walls were tired and in need of replacement/updates. A small sign was on the floor indicating that they planned to do updates, but that sign could have been there for months or years to placate customers. Don't put a sign out - just get it done. Room was plain, but clean. Room cleaning was good.

We were disappointed in our 1BR suite. The furniture in our room was very dirty and stained. Also, there was only one lamp in the sitting room and it was extremely dark. It was an expensive room and not in any way worth the money we paid. The hallways were also very dark with extremely dirty carpeting. Very disappointed.
