My mom and I have been staying here for girls trips for the last 14 years. We’ve always loved it and the only bad part is no elevator. This may have to be our last girls trip. We enjoyed it so much but with her getting older, the stairs are just a little too much on her. We love this hotel and will remain hopeful for any sort of accommodations in the future!

We stay here every year! Definitely recommend!
Our family stays here every year & we love it! The staff is always nice & we love the pool & Tiki bar. I wish this hotel had elevators, that is literally the only negative part. We will definitely be staying here again though.

Basic hotel that is located directly on n the beac
Felt safe the whole time and the pool was nice for the kids too.
Had a small kitchen which was useful, since it had a few pots and pans andspme.ates and bowls. Wish it had full utensils, but otherwise was okay.

Great affordable place to stay
No elevators when your 8 months pregnant kinda sucked but thankfully there is not many floors to this hotel. Good price in comparison to other hotels around on the beach. Nice pool and separate outdoor lounge area with games to play. I would stay here again!

Extra hidden charges
So I was charged an additional $5 per day in order to process the resort fee. Not to mention that it took 5 phone calls to even find out what the additional charge was for. Go to a clearner more reputable place.

You get what you pay for
The kitchen was nice to have. View great. Does not look like pictures in Hotels.The pillows looked nice but were flat. TV was old and hard to watch. Fire alarm works. It went off at 3 am and took 30 minutes to turn off. Shower needs work. So glad we went in "off" season. Would be irritated to pay more than 100 a night.

Property needs updating
There is no elevator on this property. Don’t like hauling luggage up and down stairs. Don’t like having to buy a giant bag of ice when all I wanted was a little my evening cocktails. The property needs updating
