Our experience was so bad that we decided to switch to a different hotel for the second night of our trip. The rooms are small and uncomfortable, but we would have made it work except that for our second night, we were told housekeeping was not available. This is exceptionally uncomfortable when staying by the beach! On our first night, there were people screaming at the pool, and when we called the front desk, it got better for about 5 minutes before the yelling started again. When we shared all of this with the staff and said we'd be going to a different hotel, they were indifferent - they actually made me stand at the desk while the staff finished up "something else" and then said I could just leave. What a terrible experience.

Weekend getaway

We have booked here several times and always have a wonderful stay. No complaints at all. It's a pet friendly, family and couples welcome retreat. All rooms are oceanfront. Beach chairs provided with pool hot tub and fitness room. Excited for the restaurant renovations to be completed for our next visit!

Unimpressed

Was unimpressed with the service and lack of cleanliness in the room. We found dog fur fluffs on the floor although it had just been cleaned before we checked in. Not sure what was used to mop the floor but when we arrived in the room, room floor was wet and smelt. It was only after the floor dried, the smell went away.

Travelled with my toddler so nap times were a must. There was super easy access to go to and from the beach quickly. The rooms were amazing with a spectacular view. I have nothing bad to say about the staff. Excellent and accommodating. Would absolutely go again. :) I wish we could've stayed longer!
