Very nice property. Very clean, rooms are nice and staff is friendly. The only negative I didn’t like was they started cleaning up the breakfast items at 9:35 and by 9:50, there wasn’t much left out. When breakfast is open until 10 AM, you should be able to walk in at 9:50 and still have breakfast items available, not just scraps and a few things out. To clean up so early does not cater to the guests who are staying, it just makes it easy for staff to have everything closed exactly at 10.

We stayed at this property for several days to attend a wedding. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and our room was clean and comfortable. Our room weirdly was overlooking the indoor hot tub (awkward!) but the place was quiet in the evenings so not a major issue. The included breakfast was just fine--not a lot of healthy options (like yogurt with less sugar, or anything multigrain) but there were hot and cold items and plenty of coffee. We enjoyed sitting on the beach with some others in our party, and really appreciated the courtesy shuttle.

Great place to stay if you love the beach!

Friendly hotel staff, very clean, however a little dated for my taste but loved the beachside! Complimentary breakfast had a good selection of food. The only negative was the shower had no water pressure, we mentioned to the staff upon checkout so hopefully they take care of that.
