Great location! Needs a facelift

Beautiful location, excellent service but definitely is due for an upgrade. Very outdated. Also was very disappointed with the tv selection, the tv was very dated would have preferred a smart tv since cable or satellite was not available. I hope they consider remodeling soon otherwise I think we will stay somewhere a bit more modern.

I liked the service. very polite staff. we asked to change the room due to being unhappy with the view and they did it as soon as our fav. was available the look of resort is more like a motel which I didn't expect it and also room id old style. The toilet flush was too loud specially when we used it at night. For paying almost $400 / night, I'd rather to go to a resort in Mexico with full service which includes my commute, and food as well

Our room was so beautiful, overlooking the ocean. We slept to the sounds of the ocean each night. We were traveling without kids but it was clearly a family-friendly place. Loved Roxy at the front desk. What a character. Highly recommend a weekend stay at this lovely place.

I enjoyed my stay. The room was very comfortable, clean, and I loved having a fireplace. Views were fantastic. My one quibble would be the lack of a complimentary breakfast, considering the price. A microwave or larger fridge would've made life easier, but for one person, using the mini-fridge was doable.
