Th Spark at Hilton met all of my expectations, after reading reviews posted in Feb of 2025, I had some concerns, the staff was helpful, polite, and couldn’t have been more accommodating to make my stay comfortable , the room was very clean, the pool and pool amenities were great, as was the transportation I’ll see them next year!

Great location to beach, otherwise not great

The pros to the hotel, are its location to the beach. The hotel itself is nothing special in fact our room had mold in the shower and a sink that was clogged. I also didn’t like that anyone could enter the property and essentially walk right up to my room. The staff was very friendly and supportive, so that was a positive.
