We had a great time! The location is perfect! It’s super close to the beach and town and after a long day on the beach, a dip in the pool is just what we needed! Love the island bands that play at the pool too! So festive and the staff was super nice and accommodating!

I love the place. It's right across the beach, which is super convenient. The room is spacious. Bees Knees restaurant has a good menu, and the trivia game was fun. We will definitely visit again. Attached is a view from our room.

Amazing location across from the beach and 2 blocks to Washington Mall. Loved the live music at the restaurant/bar next to the pool and the ability to get drinks while lounging poolside. Our room had a mini kitchenette which was useful and the balcony overlooking the ocean was amazing. Double beds are painfully small for our tall family but it was a reasonable trade off for a short trip to get those other benefits already mentioned. Staff was friendly and helpful and I appreciated the 2 free beach tags and beach/pool towels.
