We stayed December 5 to the 7th we are locals but my daughter wanted to wake up on the beach for her 19th birthday. The weekend was very rainy so we really didn't get to enjoy the beach but the view from our 7th floor balcony was breathtaking. My only issue was the rooms need some upgrades. The bathroom needed a touch of paint or re tiling here n there , but for the price it was more than worth it. Some small tweaks here n there and that place would be a perfect get away. We didn't interact a lot with staff but they seemed nice.

Great beach, but the bed was uncomfortable, the room was dirty and floor was covered in mildew. We stayed because it was cheap but left the next morning. Drove 2 minutes and realized we left our liquor in the fridge, called and were told that the cleaner already threw it in the trash. I said we literally just left. I asked to speak to the cleaning manager, she said sorry it’s our policy and if we want to come back and dig in the trash we could. We will never stay here again.
