I booked this hotel last minute for my daughter’s 21st day trip with her best friend. Her flight was an early flight and I call 20 minutes before she got there to see if they can accommodate her for an early check in. and they did just that!!! Her checkin time was 4pm and they checked her in around 11am . Her room and view was amazing! I’m booking my trip with my husband in July can’t wait to get the same room. My daughter tells me she love every single thing about this hotel. Thank you for her experience for her 21st

My husband and I had an amazing time. The customer service was outstanding, room quiet and clean with a beautiful beachfront view. The staff, ( too many names to say), are super friendly and helpful. We really felt like family at this resort. The last night of our stay, fireworks went off right outside our window as we were packing up. A great finale to a great time. We will be back!
