We had a very good stay and all the employees were amazing except for the breakfast lady I think her name was Sean. She was very nasty to my daughter and her boyfriend. She swore and was upset they were getting food 10 minutes before they close. She started to clean before the hours were done and even stayed right behind them cleaning up after them with them still getting food. I was not there or I would have said something. I did speak to the manager about it but from what I heard she was nasty to many people. We knew a couple that had three young kids and she was nasty to them as well. The next day we came for breakfast early and she is juts nasty and needs some customer service training. My daughter was getting eggs and sausage so she came up right beside her to check if it needed more. The top was open so she didn’t need to do that or she could have waited. She also came close to elbowing my daughter as she was standing there to set down a utensil as she got her food. Also she was sitting down talking more than working at all for a good 4-5 hours.

Great stay for our family vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was amazing! Everyone at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The youngman that checked us in gave us a book with all the local restaurants and different activities we could do. The lady who served breakfast on Friday was so friendly and sweet, like talking to a friend. Our room was a pet friendly room. It was clean & right on the beach! Also on the first floor! Super accommodating for pet owners. Our favorite part was the back door that led straight out to the ocean. We enjoyed every sunrise with our 2 fur babies in tow and spent hours on the beach just a minute from our room!
