When I booked the room, I called to see if I could check in early. The young lady that answered the phone was very nice and said of course I could check in early. They were not busy at all and it would not be a problem. I ask if there would be an additional charge and she said no. Upon my arrival, it was a very different story. The person working was rude, short, and would not honor the early check in unless I paid full price for the room she seemed to be annoyed because she was the only one working and was anxious to get her 1 hour lunch at noon. She informed me that she planned to lock the door and wouldn’t be back until after her lunch. I drove a long way with my pet in my car and didn’t have any other choice but to pay the additional room fee. I would not have left home as early had I known this was going to be the case. Very disappointed in the front desk tenant. She was rude and not hospitable or helpful at all.

The front desk lady was so helpful in suggesting things to do for a birthday at the end of December in the area. She was very kind as well. The suite we got was absolutely clean and had the best view of the ocean from our private balcony. This resort had everything I was looking for at the best price I have ever paid for a place with this many things to offer. I was very pleased that the pools were still open at the end of December. There is an onsite bar called the rusty anchor that was a very cool place for the adults to chill. They have a food court and restaurant and arcade room for the kiddos. We WILL be staying again for spring break!

The stay was great other than rooms need updating as most places do. Also, the on site restaurants need signage on the doors or hotel website stating off season closures or operating hours. We were only steps from the beach. One more thing is we smelled pot. Don't know if it just had that smell or someone was smoking a lot of pot in the area. No one should have to smell that sh** if they don't want to. I didn't want to.

We walked into our room and heard the dog bark next door through the adjoining door and then heard the owners tell the dog to be quiet. We could hear everything they said. My husband went to the front to change rooms-the staff was very accommodating. Got to the new room and noticed the small TV and power supply protector where the TV, microwave, and refrigerator were all piggy backed in to the one plug. It was Thanksgiving and we were heating up our left overs when the power overloaded. From that point on - the TV worked for brief periods, we ate cold food, and the refrigerator leaked all over the floors. My husband was very frustrated and did not want to have to change rooms again so we did not report it. While running the sink and allowing the water to heat up, the sink overflowed. When we went to check out the following morning, my husband reported all the issues. The front desk person did not apologize or really acknowledge the lack of basic amenities. We live local and like to support the local businesses but I cannot recommend them. As a smaller business owner, I would like to know if my team is not meeting my customer service and quality expectations.
