Hotel was great - very clean, first and foremost! Front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating. Pool towels were plentiful, and there is a shower if you want to use the pool/beach after checkout. If you want to get food and bring it back, there’s plenty of seating out near the pool and also on the 2nd floor outdoors. We loved the lemon water at the front desk! Kids loved the outdoor pool. The only reason I will take away a star is that the outdoor pool surface was very rough and my husband, nephew and daughter all scraped themselves badly on it AND the location is good for the beach, but far from the downtown of Stone Harbor. With small kids, it’s not that walkable.

My daughter had a rugby tournament at the fields two blocks away. This property was perfect for our needs and beaching it. We also enjoyed the nearby Icona dining options within walking distance. Sunsets on the bay side were beautiful. The pool was clean and a great temperature.

Clean, comfortable, and a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting for a few days. The room came with a kitchenette and a sitting area. Sadly, we were only there for one night. The bed was so comfortable I fell asleep immediately. Lovely stay.
