So first off, this place has a perfect location, perfect beach access, away from the thousands at the big resorts and you can’t find a better spot on the beach. The public areas are nothing special, but I felt like it was definitely adequate. Now the room, this place is all concrete, the rooms are what you’d expect for this price range but overall the rooms weren’t bad…. Until I was woken up with a roach on my head at 5am… to the credit of the hotel, they took care of all resort fees and offered to move me to another floor, I’d have given this place a four star if not for my little friend that came to visit. Also the lady at the tiki bar saved this place from a one star she was so good!

This is NOT a resort! The room was so dirty that we had to go buy our own cleaning supplies to become comfortable in the room. Do NOT be fooled by the advertised pictures as everything is out-dated. This was like staying at a Motel 6...

We came down for a quick beach trip. Our room was clean, Updated, and comfortable. It was so relaxing by the pool and ocean. Tiki bar was great. It was within walking distance to great restaurants. We will definitely book here again.

I will never stay here again. First it had no stairs, we went to the room the sink was stopped up. After the maintenance person repaired the sink and the toilet I went to wash my hands and face. Not going to happens the water started pouring on the floor because the pipe under the sink was not reconnected so the water was just running out into the cabinet onto the floor. I attempted to call the front desk they turned the room phone off so I had to use my cell phone to get the maintenance person back to complete the repairs. Might I add he came back after midnight to fix the problem. We had a walk out to the beach room, note the grass was so unkept and the umbrellas provided for beach use are so filthy. Parking was even worse because if you got in after 10pm no parking available. When you drive around four times security runs out and says park across the street. As you look down the beach you will notice all the other resorts had beautiful kept lawn and the much better service provided for the beach. Now the reason I gave 1 start is the bartender is the bomb, if I could give Kelly 5stars and the motel 1 start I would. Do your research before going to this resort.

Would stay again. Tiki bar was a nice touch and food was great. I booked off of expedia and when checking into the hotel they charged us 275 which the 200 came back. This wasnt in the description or stated anywhere. Which just lost them out because we would have definitely spent it at the bar if we had it but thats okay.

Its an older property and fridge was a little stubborn. Overall the employees went above and were great. Location is excellent we did not need car entire stay. Resteraunts are right next door and you can walk to shop. We had a great time with no complaints. Gave a 4 due to having to take so many steps and no means other than carrying to get luggage to ocean front.

Decent place if you’re planning to just sleep there and spend your time elsewhere. Walked into the room around 2am and there was a huge cockroach on the floor so was worried about other bugs. Great beach views and perfect beach access with rentable chairs and umbrellas on the beach. If you need a cheap place on the beach, it’s good for that.
