4/10 Fair

Room was spacious for 4 of us. But No hot water at all for 4 days. Mold in the bathroom ceiling. Front desk worker was rude. Very thin walls could hear everything! Had free wifi but never could get connected.

6/10 Good

Was ok but not worth the cost paid

Bed was not comfortable at all and broken. The pillows were cheap as expected for a motel. The Internet was horrible. Had to turn it off to accomplish simple things on phones

Lovely staff when we checked in/checked out , clean rooms /pool area.
Angelique??, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone here was so lovely. They are family owned and run, but it doesn’t feel like a camera is on you 24/7. Check in was nice and easy and even let us come a few hours early since a room was ready for us. Will be back!!
Shyla, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cottage was great! It was a little pricy 675 for 2 nights. I love d the location close to beach and close to the grocery store and gas station. The pool and hot tub were also nice, And i loved how the cottage felt very private
Gustavo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Economical and Extremely Friendly Owners/Staff

We decided to start our vacation early and stayed at Shark Reef 2 nights and our originally booked place after we checked out of Shark Reef. The room was clean, modernized, and very economically priced. The pool was nice and the staff was great. We would stay again!
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was very nice and quiet. There was not a coffee maker in the room… so I didn’t like that… but other than that, it was very nice and the staff were very nice.
