Be careful getting a beach view on the 5th floor. If there is an event on the 6th floor they are allowed to blast music and jump around until 10pm. This made sleep for my kids difficult while they partied right above us. They don’t enforce no smoking on the property unless you complain. Lastly, paying $30 for a resort fee is a little crazy in the winter considering the “heated”pool is too cold to swim and they even shut off the water to clean sand off yourself from the beach. Overall, decent beachfront property with some things they could work on to be better.

Enjoyed the surroundings, and the ocean front was fabulous. Unfortunately there is no place to store your clothes (no closet or dresser) and housekeeping was spotty. All in all the restaurant staff were wonderful and I’d stay there again.

My daughter was the one staying so she could see her brother. She said having the beach so close by was amazing! The staff they watched over her so she felt safe! She loved her mini getaway she was sad unfortunately the pools were out of commission when she was there but saw they got to working on them fast!

Staff was not very helpful and many of the resort amenities were not available for use even though they were listed online. The room we booked listed two queen size beds but they were queen size bed frames with two full mattresses that didn’t fit the frames which led to us banging our knees on the corner of them.

Loved the location directly on the beach. Really liked the breakfast buffet & onsite restaurant. Its obvious they're trying to keep the property up to date. Didn't like the caution tape blocking pathways with no posted detour routes (you just had to walk around figuring it out).

Check in was easy. The gal checking us in was friendly and helpful. Older hotel that but the grounds are nice and kept up. Our room (4005) was clean but the bed was horrible and the air conditioner sounded like a freight train was coming. No closet to hang cloths. Coffee maker didn’t work, it was replaced and that one didn’t work either. Right on the beach which was nice. We won’t be back.
