We were disappointed with our stay because of the noise level in our room. We were placed right next to what seemed to be a storage or utility room, with employees frequently moving in and out. Starting before 7 AM, there was constant banging and loud noises that woke us up early both mornings. It really impacted our ability to relax and rest during the trip.

Lots of perks

I love the perks. I really love the back deck where you can sit and still see the water. I just wish the beach was cleaned up in front of the hotel. A lot of sea weeds and dead marine life. That brought a lot of flying bugs. Other than that, I enjoyed my time. The staff was great! My grand daughter's loved the complimentary cupcakes and smores. I liked the complimentary wine and champagne. I will definitely go again!

This hotel is right on the ocean! A motel style with rooms open to the outside. Has a restaurant and lounge in the hotel. Community fire pits where you can lounge and watch the sunset. Hotel offered s’mores and wine (for free) make the evenings enjoyable. Pool and saunas although didn’t use them looked fun. Lol Rooms were clean and well kept.

This property is right on the beach, so you do get a good view. They had nice perks like s’mores daily, the option to rent e-bikes and free welcome wine. It was pet-friendly and the rooms were new/upgraded. They accommodated us when we asked to switch to an ocean view and moved us again when our AC was not working. Now, on to the cons. HIDDEN FEES. There is a fee to park at the hotel ($52/day) and a “destination fee” ($25/day)—whatever that is! This is quite frustration as you arrive thinking you’ve already paid and your stay is one cost—and surprise you have an extra $75/day in fees. The food + drinks at their dining options were more expensive than some of the nicer hotels closer to downtown and the bartending staff wasn’t hospitable. The property was structured like a motel, so you have to go outside to get to your room and there is only 1 elevator. I will concede that the communal areas were nice (lobby, fitness center, outdoor dining area) The sauna/spa was closed, so we didn’t get to use that either. Would I recommend? Eh.

The hotel itself is in a great location. Right on the beach and close to a lot of places we wanted to go. The front desk staff were helpful. Delivered an extra blanket and do not disturb sign to the room. Self serve wine bar was nice. Walls are super thin. Can hear people talking. House keeping was super loud laughing and chatting. We were right next to the pool and could hear all the people jumping in and kids screaming. The room is smaller than expected. No dresser, no table, no closet. The mini fridge is really small. Could only hold a few drinks. There is no microwave. The tv is to the left of the bed. Even if you’re sitting on the left side it’s still not in front of you. Very little light unless you open the blinds. We sent the temperature of the room to 65 when going to sleep. It never got below 69-70.

Loved everything about it. Right next to the beach they have little bonfire pits on the beach and have awesome fire pits with comfortable couches facing the beach. We saw dolphins really near the shore. Staff was amazing and the wine included with the room I had gotten was awesome! Parking is quite fair priced. Lounge area is beautiful you can sit down, get some wine, sit down and look at the beautiful scenery through the big glass windows they have in the lobby.
