Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Location is great. The room had issues with commode not flushing, and shower leaking. We had to change rooms. And it is pricy. Beach towel policy is managed with a card which is a hassle.
We arrived at 6pm and our room was not ready. We had to wait an hour before it was ready. Only offered a cocktail voucher for$20. Will select a different hotel next time

The hotel is dated, but still very clean. The views from the ocean front rooms were perfect. We both thought the beds were very comfortable. Some staff was great others not so much. No guarentee you will get a float for the lazy river, so you might want to bring your own. Bring your own beach chairs if you can, save some money.

The front desk service was very nice, however everything else was lacking attention. The lobby door to the pool is very hard to open. The towel lady was very hard to find, i had to take multiple trips until i finally got the towels. The pool needs better service, the walls and decor areas have algae. The restaurant has very slow service, only one waitress. The room had dirty floors and the ac unit was extremely loud, i had to turn it off so i could sleep.
