The beach and swimming area was great. Some suggestions I would make: live music, spa service, laundry service, get rid of the automatic 18% gratuity, staff would be more diligent about their service, inform that you will be bombarded by cruise ship passengers on the beach, put in freshwater showers to rinse off after you get out of the ocean, provide fresh ice water in a large container so guest can refill their cups rather than charging $3.00 a bottle, update the menu (steak was on it but they did not have it), get rid or the roosters, chickens, and cats (I was awakened every morning between 3:00 & 5:00 am.

Hotel staff gave us great recommendations for local restaurants off the beaten path, the view from our room patio was perfect every morning with palm trees, ocean waves and sunshine. Being right on the beach for our honeymoon was our favorite part of the stay! We absolutely loved our stay there—perfect size and amenities for us.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom in my room was poorly cleaned. The shower had the previous guest hair on the floor and all over the drain cover, the shower head had soap scum all over it, and the cover to the shower handle was broken. There was hair from the previous guest on the sink and counter. The property lacked attention, the hotel is very dated. I ordered breakfast from the restaurant and it was served cold. I passed a Homeless man on the property my first night coming from my room while walking on the property. The staff was in plain clothes with no name tags so they blended in with the guest. I didn't feel safe walking to my room alone in building four at night which is in the very back of the hotel. The outdoor lighting is very poor on the property at night. I would not stay here ever again nor recommend this property. The only convenience is it's minutes from the airport. Most of the staff was not friendly.

Despite being run down, the hotel was very clean. The beach was very nice and also clean. We also enjoyed the pool area. It served its purpose as we were flying out the next day and it is next to the airport. I would not stay more than 1 night but in my younger years it would have been just fine. I would recommend eating somewhere else but overall I was pleasantly surprised as the hotel was a good value.

First never seemed to have clean towels. The shower was very hard to regulate the temperature it was either very hot or very cold. There was no where to hang wet towels. The staff was not very knowledgeable about the area when asked for recommendations as to any places to eat. It was clean but not a place I would go back to.
