Excellent staff and location
Perfect resort location. Close to everything. Walking distance to plenty of eateries and shops. The resort staff, the ocean view room , the food, the amenities , and beach front was excellent. The daily activities were also nice. Staff was family friendly oriented. The only one that was not true. They said no pets allowed except for service animals and that’s the only reason why I chose the resort, then I see a lady with a dog went into the resort restaurant and she was not being responsible the dog left her and was walking around all at the cabana and the pool area unattended. Some ladies thought it was a stray dog and they paid and left and I did the same. I was not trying to be bothered with no dog. Then someone said owners are allow to have dog. So please remove the no pets allow.

I have been staying here for over 20 years and will continue to do so. Perfect family venue and very well maintained throughout. I am not the type to spend the entire vacation in the hotel, but I have no problem spending time in this one. The Cabana pool and beach area is great and all the rooms have balconies with amazing ocean view.

Absolutely loved everything about the resort. Would give it a 10/10 BUT the bar across the street, Nowhere Special, had live bands playing every night, sometimes until 1:30am, and they were VERY loud. We had a 2-bedroom unit, however, the back bedroom near the street could not be used because of the loud music. Unfortunately, we had to use the somewhat uncomfortable pull-out couch instead. Everything else about this resort was fantastic and would go again but would hopefully get a room in the west wing instead -- much quieter!

My husband and I both agree that this complex is top notch..for any age group. We are seniors and everything including the restaurant, pool, beach with palm leaf shade,. beach towels, were top notch. The area is relatively quiet and walkable including great location to grocery markets and restaurants. Most of the condos overlook the ocean. We hope to return next year.
