The noise level in the room was 8 out of 10. The distance from the room to the beach was approximately the length of fifteen football fields. The resort fee was ridiculous as it only provided a towel and beach chair ( located about 100 yards from the beach). Never stay at this property again!

Great Place to Stay on the Beach

The room was nice. It had everything we needed. The resort was quiet and its location on the beach was nice. Beach chairs were set up on the beach for us and beach towels were provided. The pool area was great with food and drink right beside it. We also liked the fact that waterproof wrist bands were provided that worked as our room key. It was so nice not having to worry about keeping up with a key. Overall it was a great experience.
