This property is nicely updated with direct ocean views in every room. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The large mini fridge and microwave are a plus. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I left my favorite pillow there after departing and the staff saved it for me until I could pick it up. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back!

The property is clean for a beachfront property. They’re doing a bunch of renovation since the new owners have taken over. We’ve been coming down here for years and love it.

Amazing hotel! Will stay here again!

I stayed for 6 days with my husband on a trip during off peak season. PRO'S - Staff were super amazing and awesome! They were considerate, around 24/7 and when I asked for extra towels etc, they even had it ready when I returned. Super thoughtful and just nice! - Beach was just a walk away, very close! - Hotel very clean and comfortable. I used the game room, a hot tub, and outdoor seating. They also had free beach chairs to use and bring back. - Bed was super comfortable as well as the sofa. View from the balcony was clean and inviting, well taken care off, just amazing views every day. Room was clean and the same as described when I booked. - Tea maker in room worked well and was clean. Refrid. worked just fine as well as TV. TV had many good shows to offer, remote was straight forward for someone who was not fam. with the area. - They had a bible next to the phone! Glad this didn't go away. Very impressed. - Hotel had free coffee and water 24/7. CON - Hotel had construction so there was no restaurant and no room service during off season. This was a bummer. Would have liked to have room service on late days. - The bar was also open at odd times. - Low water pressure in the room and shower head needed to be cleaned, possible calcium buildup. The cons were frustrating but not enough to detour me from coming back. Overall, fantastic hotel and will stay here upon our return. Thanks!

Have stayed at this location under different ownerships. The hotel has been upgraded and everything was very good during our stay. The restaurant was closed but we new that when we reserved our room. Kind of quiet this time as it was the weekend between Christmas and New Years 2025. Hotel staff were very nice a accommodating. Would very much recommend.
