The property was pretty and well kept. The bed in the suite was shot and worn. The 4 nights we stayed we hardly slept because of the mattress. It was very soft with little support.

We liked everything except that the people above us were stompers when they walked and they walked consistently. The staff couldn't move us because the property was full. Needless to say, we didn't get much sleep. Enjoyed everything else about the property such as pool, food, tiki bar and convenience to the beach.

Disliked: Room comfort

Misleading pictures and overly priced

I paid for a room that looked upgraded and the bathroom as well. I paid a lot of money compared to most hotels in the East Coast of Florida. The bathroom was so old and dingy that we left the next morning. We were thinking of staying an extra day but once we saw the bathroom we decided to leave.

My mom and I had a wonderful experience staying here for our little weekend getaway. It was perfect! The resort is right on the beach, and the beach was never super crowded. The room was clean and quiet. The resort’s restaurant, BRGR Kitchen Bar, was seriously some of the best food and drinks I’ve had. Excellent service as well. Overall, we had a very nice time and would most definitely come back!
