Great stay. Only down fall we were right next to 6 ac units and over the inside pool. Horrible view. Couldn’t even hear the ocean and unfortunately they were fully booked that night but gave all 3 of us a voucher for the breakfast buffet the next day so that was nice. Next time I’ll specifically ask for another room right when I get there. Avoid room 302!!!

Nice hotel

We arrived on Sunday to the hotel. We had a hiccup as soon as we arrived as our card was charged twice as we checked in. Almost $900 twice. As of now after checking out on Wednesday the charges are still pending. The agent did comp our drink cups and early check in fee. The thermostat on our wall was also torn off and couldn't be replaced. We had to try to operate it from the actual unit which didn't work well. The staff was nice, the food was good. They had great activities for the kids. The pool area was nice and clean as was the lobby. All in all it was a good experience minus the credit card snafu and thermostat.

The breakfast buffet was a wonderful addition to our stay. It was nice knowing that you had a delicious meal waiting for you once you woke up and were ready to take on the day. The servers were super attentive and very kind. I enjoy seeing employees with smiles on their faces and looking like they are glad you are there.

Complimentary coffee and tea should be available all day and at night and was not. Breakfast should be offered complimentary as an option and was not. Our room cleaning service had issues. Cooley was great and friendly and helpful. A lady who cleaned our floor though whose name I don’t have was rude and condescending and would question us when we needed things.
