We stayed for two nights, a family of 8 with three rooms. The rooms were very spacious and the balconies are definitely a plus. Our only frustration was coin laundry facilities with no way to get change. As a family on a little road trip, laundry was a necessity but overall a nice stay.

Great location for beach proximity and served us well for a short vacation. We went in February and many amenities such as kids activities were lacking which made it feel like less of a resort experience. But overall kids had a great time in pool, hot tub and arcade.
