The staff at there front desk were EXCELLENT. The room was clean and the balcony room with the Gulf view was so relaxing. Breakfast was great. Pool was wonderful after a day on the beach. Or even if you just wanted to stay at pool all day and there bar had good drinks. A little expensive but worth it. (Drinks that is)
