It was a great experince! The only thing was that I called 3 times on Thursday to see if I could upgrade my room for a Sunday reservation. I was waiting on hold for 20 mins when the line cut, got a busy signal the 2nd time and left a voicemail-no one responded to me. We loved the resturant it was great food! So we went back the following day and we waited for 20 mins for a Waiter to take our order. Totally get it was on a monday but we just needed to get our day going. This is still a great place to go! Soo clean and right by the beach which is what we wanted!

I recommend a lounging area for guests other than the pool. There is one very small and outdated lobby, and there is one restaurant with a bar. There is nowhere else for guests to sit, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery and converse or read. For those in rooms facing the pool, while the terrace is large, the guests in the pool and restaurant are loud and staring right at you, zero guest privacy. Also the restaurant menu is too limited and specific to be the only dining option.

Nice hotel in a perfect location!
Very nice hotel across from the beach. Walking distance to restaurants! Great ambiance, friendly and attentive staff, large rooms with large bathrooms. Our deluxe king patio had a view of a back street that was very quiet and private. We preferred this to a pool view. The bed was comfortable. Only down side was no coffee maker in the room so we brought our own. Also no body wash that wasn't a big deal.

Nice place but missed small details.
My husband and I stayed here after our courthouse wedding ceremony. The room was big and we had booked an ocean view which was nice, but the hotel had missed that it was our wedding day. Other places I or any of my friends had stayed at would make sure to do something a little extra for such a special occasion but all in all a good stay!

Beautiful property, will definitely go back. The location is right across the street from the beach, nice rooms and pool. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is bc I told them it was our anniversary when I booked and it was never acknowledged at the hotel.
