The room was clean. The place was very nice. Amenities were updated and modern. You can tell it was an updated older hotel. The water pressure was good but the water temperature was difficult to maintain. If you weren’t careful it could be extremely hot or cold and could barely stay even luke warm. I also wish you didn’t have to pay to park on-site.

Room was very clean. Staff was so so. Not very welcoming. Also they checked us into a lower grade room even when I showed them that we reserved a better one. They said it was all they had available.

We had the worst room where the shower would not drain. We contacted the front desk and they said they would have someone fix it but no one came, we had to shower at our friends house. The next day we went back and asked either for the hotel to cancel the rest of stay or give us another room and they did neither! We requested to speak to the manager several times and the 3 days we were there the manager never attempted to reach out. It was disgusting to have to shower with water backing up (which we just couldn’t do) and it was worse that the hotel did nothing about it! Would never come back

A quaint spot of heaven! We loved our stay. Beautiful and clean private beach. 2 pools and a hot tub. A great coffee shop with breakfast. A beautiful dinner restaurant with amazing food. We loved the beach bar. They had good food too and their staff was fabulous! We had a room facing the beach with a small balcony. A close drive or Uber ride to anything yet you could just hang here too. Nice staff. Young valet was a great kid! Only thing I would ask is to have the floors in the rooms mopped more during our stay but I never asked so that’s on me. We’ll definitely be back!! 5 stars all the way!

Our stay was just Ok. Not the best location. The large pool was not heated (very cold), it was recently remodeled, however, they skipped remodeling the bathrooms. The sinks and showers are old with a new shower curtain. The service is difficult, as in it’s very hard to get them to pick up the phone. Room service is ok, just to go items in plastic and paper bag delivered to the room. On a positive note, the restaurant on site, Luma, is good for dinner. As far as breakfast goes, it does offer healthy items, but a little too frou frou for kids. Not that the hotel can control the wind, but it was very windy, so going in the ocean was definitely not an option and sitting in the beach was very windy.

The room did not have the view I expected and the heated pool was in fact not heated … very unhappy with no heated pool. We spoke to the staff about it and nothing ended up happening. We also had an unexpected $400 charge when we first got there for “hotel fees”. The stay was okay but did not meet the expectations I had.
