Go & relax, have fun and maybe bring earplugs!

Hotel recently remodeled and room updated and clean. Building is 40+ years old, so maybe that’s why walls are paper thin? I could hear very clearly complete conversations from the guests on each side of my room. Great view of beach from our balcony, and it’s a plus that all rooms face the beach!

Nice and clean- I think it is a big rip off that i had to pay $20 a day to park at a hotel That I paid for. Just a rip off way to get your $$- I will not go back because of this reason

Didnt like paying for chairs and umbrellas even though we were staying at the resort, plus get charged resort fees. Thought resort fees should cover the chair and umbrella costs.

Loved location overall room was good set up great space with balcony & beach view. Didn’t realize we had to pay $20 a day for parking maybe that was listed somewhere and I missed it. Kitchen area was nice with fridge, microwave & table but didn’t have any plasticware other than a couple of cups. Front desk did have some utensils packets once we asked. Everything looked clean and smelled fresh but the beds were so uncomfortable and pillows were very small/flat would have loved the big comfy bedding you usually get at hotel chains. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

If you want a fun, energetic, right-on-the-beach, and minutes by foot to lots of food, fun, and water? Look no further. It’s definitely meant for the younger crowd with loud music and easy access to lots of bars. It’s plenty safe, though. Ample parking between the lot immediately adjacent to property as well as across the street. Decent food, on beach rentals for 2 chairs, umbrella, and table is $30 from 9-5p for hotel guests. Highly recommend! Had a wonderful stay here.
