Lovely resort with ocean views

Beautiful spot. Be sure to get a view of the water. So lovely! Tide in and tide out - very cool to see the differences. The walls are thin and pets are allowed in some rooms. We had a barking dog next door and they moved us right away. Appreciated their willingness to accommodate us!

It is right on the ocean and in the middle of town. If you are on the Oceanside the view is amazing (we weren’t this time). Very dog friendly. Note that in March April no dogs on the beach which is a bit of a bummer. The only down side was just a bad check in. Waited almost 15 minutes before anyone came to help (yes we rang the bell).

Loved our stay, Simon was wonderful. Only thing I would change is maybe add Adults only hours to the pool and hot tub as parents and kids do hog the pool at night right up until closing. We stayed here while renovating and listening to kids screaming and splashing in the pool while trying to swim and unwind was just a bit much. I understand kids are part of the equation but after 7:30-8pm until 9 make it quiet .

Overall a very nice hotel. The room was very nice and renovated. The reception area looks very fancy and restaurant too. The onsite restaurant and the pool was main selling point as it was my birthday and we travelled with 2y old kiddo. We asked at reception if the restaurant was kids friendly and if we need a reservation just to make sure…1hrs later once we settled in, there was a certain business Christmas part there too and unfortunately the restaurant staff was very unexperienced and rude when we wanted to come in and by the first look very judgmental too. Anyway there was apparently no free table and wait was ridiculous so we ended up booking Skip the dishes. Regarding the pool, may have not seen on Expedia but that thr Indoor pool is half open so very cold breeze comes in and not suitable for small kids at all. Also the pool area looked very sad, and outdated.
