At 11PM someone was given a key that opened our room door. And because the extra deadbolt did not work, which the front desk and security were informed about, an older gentleman almost gained access to our room. Because of this we left the next day and I am requesting a 1 day refund.

Reserve elsewhere

Don’t be fooled by photo of pool area. It is the only nice thing about the property and the outdoor bar/restaurant is not even open after 4pm. Read other reviews. Rooms so dated and gross.

It’s a nice property with great ocean views. Clean facilities, but they’re in the middle of a renovation so the elevators are often maxed out with one of them out of service. Overall a nice stay for the price.

They need to renovate the rooms and the surrounding area. And even more so if there are families staying there. There are many cracks, some of the bed sheets were stained, and so were the towels. The bathtub door leaks water, and we have to use towels to put them on the floor. Otherwise, we would have fallen to the floor with all the water coming out.

The staff was really friendly. The area was really nice and quiet and secluded. It was difficult to get around without a car. Walking just to get out of the resort area is like 15 minutes. The room was not completely clean when we checked in because we found a bottle under the bed. Also one time we left and when we can back at the end of the day the room had not been cleaned. On a different occasion we left and came back and found the room had been cleaned but there were no towels left for us. The bathroom didn’t have a good vent so the mirror stayed really foggy.
