Was a perfect place for a one-night stay. Convenient to a lot of places, and i enjoyed being right on the beach. The only problem we had was the wi-fi kept going in and out and there was no cell service in my room.

This hotel has all oceanfront rooms and the staff was really nice. The beach chairs were very much apprciated and convenient. We were all able.to get a good nights rest on the comfy beds. Pool and hot tub were a nice way to end the evening. We also loved to relax in the turtle room playing games together. The only thing we wish there would have been was one of the 3 available bars open or a place to grill out food since the restaurant was not open and there are not many places open after 8 in the off season.
