We love this hotel and have had great stays previously. However this time, the room had a very loud hum noise throughout the night. It may have been the elevator shaft, or a generator, but it caused us all to have a terrible sleep. The staff weren’t very sympathetic to this on check out which actually ruined the stay for us.

Hotel of our dreams!

This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We plan to visit again next summer. No hotel has ever stood out to us, it’s just a place to lay your head in between your actual plans. But this place was a vibe and a whole experience in itself. S’mores every night by fire pits, beach cruiser bikes, beach supplies to borrow, walking distance to the beach. Nicest staff, we needed a few deliveries to our room and they were efficient and prompt and seemed more than happy to help. Everything was 10/10.

Such a unique resort. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The mini cooler to take to the beach was a nice touch. The outdoor patio on the main level was well used. Little touches like lemonaide at 2 and the wine beer or pop at 5 were lovely. We would absolutely stay again.
