The staff here were so friendly and so kind. We were pleased with every interaction we had. The room was fine and clean. The pools were very well maintained and we liked the option of having two pools to pick from! The gym is on the older side and did not have free weights. The restaurant attached to the hospital and the one on the beach are still not open and that was a bummer! They are in an excellent location and would have made the stay a 10/10. The location however was great, 10 min to downtown or to the beach and was easy to get too. Lots of restaurants door dash or deliver so we never had a problem. We would stay again!

Pre covid this place would be a very nice place I feel. The restaurants looked very nice but since covid they’re shut down. AC was absolutely horrible. Did not cool room down at all. They really could take the time to clean the little beach area up so it’s not covered in seaweed. Overall my kids had fun in the pool and we only stayed 2 nights.
