The pictures on their website are nice but in reality is not good at all.when we did reservation they mentioned that there is a pool but the pool was in repair state. The view of room was not good and the room was dark; they gave us the worse room I believe, first floor and first room from entrance door.

This was a repeat visit. First was during Covid. That visit was better than this one. Had issues that started the morning after check-in. Construction that was not told to us , we checked in late 1030pm and was woken up at 6am to it. Also had a issue that required me to have access to the room housekeeping was in room , her word choice could have been better and ended up in having to walk to other side of complex to use the bathroom that was not clean. The breakfast during the first vist was understandable considering issues but this is a few years later and breakfast was worse. Only protein source was hard boiled eggs, yogurt, or milk . Everything else was waffle or grab and go pastry.

Nice Inn

We stayed here for a week recently and enjoyed it. We had a kitchenette room which was up to date, very nice, clean, and cute too. The breakfast was good and had a good selection to pick from. We loved the location on the beach and we spent a lot of time under the gazebo eating breakfast and enjoying the view. It was also a good spot to stay cool and see dolphins swim by. Overall we enjoyed this place and would stay here again.

Room seemed clean on arrival, smelled like clorox & looked decent. But that night we saw the first roach, a german cockroach(the ones that get in food & infest houses if not taken care of). NOT a water bug. We saw atleast 4 every night & morning there after. I had to go buy roach spray & spray while we were there & sprayed all our things as we packed them to make sure none came back home with us in our stuff. On top of that the parking was terrible. We couldn't park at our room for the majority of our stay & all the spaces were compact to where we could barely open our doors to get out, I can deal with parking but the roaches is a big no for me & makes it to where I'll never stay here again. The floors were also really sticky, made sure to wear shoes or socks the whole time. If that wasn't an issue, I'd probably consider it because the beach access was great.
