I liked everything except there is a third party charge of 39 dollars that Orbitz did not make clear when I booked the property. Shadey on their part. Has nothing to do with the hotel. Just disappointed with Orbitz. Probably won't use Orbitz again and i used them quite frequently.

Nice place on the beach. It’s an older hotel, but the property seems to be kept well. Our room was clean and the staff was nice. You can walk right out to the beach. Main pool looks bigger in the pics and the bathroom was really small, not deal breakers though. Property was quiet enough at night to sleep well, beds were comfortable. Would recommend.

The rooms were very clean however the main pool was extremely dirty. There was a lot of nasty chunks of stuff floating in the pool. I feel bad writing the review because the rooms were pretty clean, just not the pool. The pool needs to be updated. The landscaping around the pool was nice, the live music had something for everybody and the rest of the grounds seemed pretty clean.

Hotel is budget friendly and on the beach. The water is a bit of a distance. The pools are awesome and clean! You have to get towels from the front desk to use at the pool. The front desk was not very friendly when asking for towels. Towards the end of our trip we figured out to ask housekeeping for towels. Rene at housekeeping was super fun and high energy. Chipper gal that was very polite. Front desk staff could use some customer service training. Plenty of good places to eat nearby. Britt’s across the street is very good. Foxy’s is good. We went down by John’s pass to Crabbys and it was good. Or the Conch as well. Precious was wonderful! So nice and courteous. Publix and Walgreens are right there to get some groceries for our room. We had a small fridge and the room was stocked to use dishes of all kinds. The rooms are a little dated but were clean! Loved the music by the Tiki Bar! Music does play from 12-8pm so if you don’t want loud music make sure to get a huge away from the main pool. We loved the music. Tons of things to do. Walk the concrete path and watch a sunset, kids area in the sand with toys, ping pong, corn hole game, etc. We have been there twice now. We would go back.

Stayed in a gulf view room. Inside room was fine but locatoin wasnt. We were placed on ground floor 2 windows down from tiki bar and on other side alley for general public. People wete within feet of my window. Felt I needed to keep the shades closed. No privacy and no view which I paid extra for! Then on other side of the room just outside my door was a semi size generator that ran constantly. And was extremely loud! Terrible, terrible stay. When you pay over$400(after taxes and fees) you would expect a little better location. The rooms in this area should never had been booked. Shame on management.
