Property was nice. Staff was nice. Room said balcony yet it was basically a shared walkway. Didn’t care for that. No privacy. Parking was horrendous! Make sure you have a small car.

Excellent prices for off-season. Facilities were fairly decent, although the window cushion was ripped and looked a bit dated. Some scuff marks along the bathroom panelling, and one of the pillowcase looked dirty. Aside from that, it was a pretty nice stay with fairly clean and modern facilities.

Pro-Great view from deluxe rooms in front. Con- The fact that you cannot take dogs on the beach may lead us elsewhere in the future.

It seems the room we had was previously a dog room when we stayed before, so I don’t think I got the room I booked. The room I booked had a bathtub/shower combo and the room just had a shower which was disappointing. It was okay, but the room was in need of some TLC.

I have stayed there numerous times. They always give me a room upgrade. I love the property and how almost all the units face the beach. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The succulent garden is well kept and beautiful. The parking can get dicey and the furniture in the rooms need to be replaced but other than that its a great value and a great place to stay. Love it.
