Check in was easy. The gal checking us in was friendly and helpful. Older hotel that but the grounds are nice and kept up. Our room (4005) was clean but the bed was horrible and the air conditioner sounded like a freight train was coming. No closet to hang cloths. Coffee maker didn’t work, it was replaced and that one didn’t work either. Right on the beach which was nice. We won’t be back.

Not what I hoped for
The services that were advertised was not available. King room requested and paid for was not available as well. Construction at the hotel made for detours while trying to get around. Staff was friendly though and they were what made the stay a little nicer.

This place falsely advertises. The island pool/bar was closed. The Island Bar/ Grill closed, Tavern closed, housekeeping forgets to come by room., towel hut closed making you go all the way into front desk for a towel. Hotel is very outdated. Walls in room are so thinned out you can hear doors slamming like gun shots, people talking so loudly, kids crying and dogs barking. When you let staff know if you could be switched to a different room, they say they have nothing available. The only thing good about this resort was the food from the restaurant. I would not consider this a resort. Don’t waste your money here. This is like going to a motel 8.

We got ocean view room as we requested. But they don't have any closet. Washroom is very congested. There is no counter top with the sink. There is no carpet in the room so floor feels always sandy and dirty. There should be atleast doormat or better way to take care the cleanliness..

Love the hotel. It was a little cold weekend before Christmas I think hotel has the heat set for the entire area. I tried to bump up the heat but couldn’t. The heat stayed on 68 but I wanted it a little warmer.
