This is our third time staying at this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay, clean hotel, nice location, beach loungers, towels and umbrellas included. Our only complaint is that a couple of days, housekeeping was still cleaning our room at 5-5:30 pm when we returned from the beach.

I loved the location of this hotel as it’s walkable to a grocery store and many restaurants. the staff are amazing! It is a dog friendly hotel however that has its downs for those who hear them from another room. Second time there and feel like I was given the worse room in the place. Second floor and I asked for highest floor, over the front of the building - Main Street so traffic noises and at the elevator! Also joint room - one could hear the neighbours speaking! The coffee shop is understaffed in the morning! Long lineups. The pool, pool bar, and beach are great.

Liked proximity to the beach and pool Didn’t like not enough room at the pool- people camp out there all day ((leave their gear and towels on their chaises)- and not enough chaises for number of guests Parking should be included in Resort fee-

I wont stay in a bungalow again. The floors turned my feet black dirty, the showers had mold on grout, the wall next to the sink was splattered with toothpaste, and the vents were caked with dust. But I loved the property and the staff and heard from others that the rooms in the main building were great- so if probably try that next time.

The property itself was not it the best conditions. Dirty carpets chipped paint and doors … generally worn out. I did, however see signs saying they would be doing some improvements so that’s great! The staff at the pool, pool bar and restaurant and the breakfast restaurant were awesome. Very personable and accommodating!

Great location - Awesome Staff! Definitely need more onsite bathrooms & need to update the ones that exist. One bathroom for pool and one for BlackFlip just doesn’t make sense. Actually, need to resolve lack of elevators….another would be nice, just saying 😬😬 Food was very good. Would absolutely return after they do renovations in 2026. Thanks !
