Ocean front, clean and maintained pool, what more can we ask for? The food at the hotel's restaurant was actually AMAZING!!!! We ended up dining in/take out from there very frequently. Staff were very nice and helpful. The only issue was the water damage in the bathroom- the shower curtain was way too short so all the water from the shower should drench the floor. We stayed in the junior suite.

Disappointing…

With the exception of the pool and the beach front location, this HGI was disappointing. Breakfast should be included for the overall price paid but it is not. Buffet is lacking and not worth the cost of $16 adults/$9 kids. Restaurant for breakfast was understaffed and not at all organized. You had to wait to be seated and served but there wasn’t a clear During a holiday week you expect crowds
