We really enjoyed our stay and LOVED that our room had a patio that opened up right onto the beach! The only thing I would recommend the hotel change with that, is to NOT place lounge chairs right in front of beach front rooms! Nobody wants to have strangers laying/hanging out right out their patio door.
The hotel was getting ready to start renovations on the property so it was a bit disorganized. But overall, we loved the place and would stay there again. Look forward to see what the place looks like when the renovations are complete.

Don’t leave your stuff on the seats by the pool, while swimming. My son’s cell phone was stolen and a lady’s sun screen was stolen at this property. No employee helped me look for his phone, they didn’t seem to care.

The staff at this resort are absolutely top notch. From the time you check in, the wait staff, and bartenders treat you like a valued guest. This is our second time coming and will continue to come at least once year.

Old school charming but new school quality. Great pool bar and bartenders with great drinks and food. Daily food and drink credit is a nice touch. Front end staff amazing and just genuinely nice people. Say hello to all the bartenders when you get there. Beach cabanas are prt of the package which i used daily.

I stayed at one of the patio with beach view rooms and that was pretty cool. The pool and bar area were also nice. The building itself, hallways and rooms are outdated but they will be renovating in a few weeks and I am excited to stay again when the renovations are done.

I took a last minute trip to the beach and booked this room on the fly. Price was decent, however, be ready for the fees that are charged at check in!
