Good for kids and bad breakfast
Everything is good, hotel is placed exactly in the beach but only bad thing is they have useless breakfast for $24 which is not worth it. Even cheaper hotels give great hot breakfast. Avoid BF here and enjoy the BF in the place called donut hole which is nearby.

Decent property for couples or families.
Clean, but a bit dated. Couldn’t access a main area due to construction. Also, some areas were not open as advertised (pool bar and grill) and there was not live music every night (1 night only and we stayed 6 nights). Nice location and gorgeous beach.

Not what I hoped for
The services that were advertised was not available. King room requested and paid for was not available as well. Construction at the hotel made for detours while trying to get around. Staff was friendly though and they were what made the stay a little nicer.

We got ocean view room as we requested. But they don't have any closet. Washroom is very congested. There is no counter top with the sink. There is no carpet in the room so floor feels always sandy and dirty. There should be atleast doormat or better way to take care the cleanliness..

It's been one week since my husband and I stayed a night in this resort. Everything honestly was absolutely amazing. My one and only issue is that it's been exactly 7 days and I still have not gotten my deposit back!

Off season girls trip
The walls are paper thin you can hear your next door neighbors conversation clearly. My first night no sleep a party was going on in the room. When the was party was over the baby cried all night and morning. Second night the neighbor on each side had checked out it was peaceful. The last night was a nightmare two wedding parties loud noise people running up and down the hall from room to room slamming doors ALL NIGHT! If you are planning on using the ironing board please use a towel on it or request a new one. The white padding under the blue cover on the board stained my shirt with the white pattern padding underneath. If you don’t mind the noise paper thin walls I guess this is a great place for you.
