Perfect location—minutes to many restaurants and shopping and right on the beach! Walkway to the beach was very helpful! Staff was friendly checking in, at breakfast and cleaning the room. Room was spacious but the bathroom was super tiny. Also the lock to the back door for the patio was insanely hard to lock.

I booked the room several weeks before our arrival, and received a phone call that they overbooked the junior suite that we intentionally booked to accommodate my mother-in-law with a wheelchair. Shutters overbooked the room for the first night that we were to be there, but did put us in a different Room for the first night and we had to relocate the second night and third night for our stay. While it was very inconvenient, they did what they could to make the situation correct with us.

Great location, very easy to get to beach for sunrise and star gazing. Large room for family of 4. Not busy section of the beach. Convenient complimentary breakfast. Great back porch option for morning coffee. Lifeguards around area for piece of mind. Annoying leaky air conditioner drips, small old bathroom. Less than responsive house keeping.

While the rooms at this hotel may appear nice at first glance, there is a serious and dangerous safety issue on the property. During my stay, I slipped and fell down a set of stairs due to excessive water accumulation—likely from leaking AC units and runoff from the pool deck. The fall caused a severe injury to my back, resulting in an open wound and a permanent 6x2-inch scar. Three out of the six days of my vacation were ruined because I was in pain and dealing with an untreated, bleeding wound caused directly by the hotel’s negligence. The walkways and stairs around the rooms are extremely slick—especially with even a trace of sunscreen or rain—which makes them a major slipping hazard. To make matters worse, the management’s response was completely inadequate. I was handed a couple of bandages and wraps and sent on my way. They showed little concern for the injury or my well-being and promised to follow up—yet I’ve heard nothing since. This kind of neglect is unacceptable. I strongly caution future guests to be extremely careful if you choose to stay here—or better yet, consider booking somewhere else entirely. Your safety may depend on it.
