Location is everything with this stay

There is not of extras that you see at most hotels (Free breakfast, restaurant, no elevators, did not see any vendor machine). The best part of the stay is the location. You are across from the beach. Good restaurants and stores in walking distance of the hotel. The people was nice, you have to request cleaning service or they will not clean your room. Overall it was a good stay. The hotel was very clean.

I normally don't post reviews but I just felt the need to share this particular one. Our very first day of our vacation we checked in and as soon as I walked into the bathroom I noticed it had not been properly cleaned. There was hair and sand still at the bottom of the tub and on the shower wall it self, I put in a request for cleaning and was told that no one would be in to clean until the morning. The service guy was nice on the phone, said he tried to find another room to move us to but the hotel was “too full”. I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself. The next morning they didn't make up our room until 12pm. At that point I just gave up and decided to clean my own room which I shouldn't have but I rather have a clean room than not at all. I want and purchased some items to do so. I will not be staying here again because I just feel like everything there was so outdated and if you didn't stay in the balcony suites you don't get the same amount of cleanliness and service. I stayed for 3days - 4 nights. Room was only “made up” once my whole stay. Little to no amenities. Room was ok nothing special. Carpeted floors which made everything feel less clean. But other than that beach was only a few steps away, staff was friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay. We loved the fact it had its own entrance to the beach and the area was not so crowded. There’s a gift shop across the street was very helpful to buy bathing suits. There is a bar/restaurant 500 feet away which was great to grab drinks when on the beach. Will definitely stay here again when we go back.

Not as advertised.

False advertising. They and every other place is NOT on the beach. There are walkways to the beach from the hotel. Pool is small so seems crowded, breakfast is gas station style (plastic wrapped sausage biscuits). The rented chairs and umbrella are old and like a lounge chair that doesn’t flatten. The rooms are old and NO cable tv or streaming. I would not stay here again. Way too pricey for what it is. Only a couple rooms have a view
