Overall, it was okay.

The elevator stopped working properly during our stay. My husband has bad knees so that was very frustrating. The outside water was not working so we had to get the sand off of our feet at the outdoor pool. Great location and gorgeous view of the beach.

It was a nice place to stay for one night after we left our condo. I wouldnt recommend for an extended stay. Not enough power outlets for everything. The indoor pool was not very handicap accessible. The door that was accessible was locked and couldn't be opened. I will say the outdoor pool was great and very accessable. Overall, it was nice. I would stay there again but bring and extension cord.

Wouldn’t recommend

Staff was no help when needing assistance. Elevator didn’t work and they can care less about their guests. If you need a cart for your luggage you have to search the hotel yourself to find one even after asking the front desk workers where you can get one.

The property is on the beach as stated. The restaurant attached a little bit to be desired. We were sitting for about 20 minutes before our waitress came to check on us. The restaurant was not full. Each time she came she sent someone else with requested item. Even that took a minute. This property might want yo work on that relationship. Food was okay.

The staff was friendly, but everything else about the experience was kind of terrible. The rooms were dirty and in need of maintenance, a granite shelf fell on me in the bathroom, and it is a property that overcharges their guests because people are willing to pay for a place to stay near the beach. I’m not sure I would stay there again if the room was free.
