The staff was incredibly kind and helpful! Especially with my handicap mother. Shout out to Nico and Quiana! They were wonderful! This was the least expensive motel I could find for our large group and I was nervous about the quality. While some of the rooms are very small, ours was large and comfortable. I had no reason to worry! They have 2 nice pools, clean rooms and coffee ready in the morning. It's a very walkable area. They also have parking for cars or golf carts. Close to so many things! I was very happy with everything!

At the driveway, the trees/shrubs knocked off our sideview mirror. That will be $1,700 repair cost on top of the cost of motel - damage caused by this property. Of course the next day, the bushes/tree had been cut down !! No offer by property to help our repair costs !

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Small, dirty little place. But, the kicker is that they use real keys that aren’t stamped with room number all that well. This was a problem because the guy at front desk gave us 2 keys to our “room” but one was the wrong room. After it wouldn’t open the one that was actually our room, we went to what the key said (thinking the front desk guy messed up) and yup, key worked…..let my wife open up a room with another couple having sex. The guy at the front desk just said “oh sorry” and gave us a better key. So no, we didn’t feel safe in these rooms as who knows who may just walk in.

We absolutely love this place! We had four couples with us and we all loved it. Very quaint, tropical, and convenient. A bar on one side and ice cream parlor on the other. Room was your basic motel but cute and clean. Will definitely be staying here again.
