Excelente para familias
El hotel está recientemente renovado. Por ser Silver de hotels.com nos dieron un upgrade a una habitación más grande con balcón aparte de los beneficios indicados. Tuvimos que pedir que limpien la alfombra de la habitación porque estaba sucia. Lo hicieron cuando les pedimos. También tuvimos problemas en la noche con un vecino fumador que también resolvieron en el momento. Lo bueno el servicio de playa.

We wanted an early check in. I reserved a king room. They told us they would upgrade us to get us checked in. They upgraded us to a double bed room. That can’t be considered an upgrade. Great view. Room was not clean. Bathroom was gross. Toilet wouldn’t flush well and WE HAD NO HOT WATER FOR SHOWERS. We only needed one shower so I didn’t complain as I had no time to get to the front desk. We were there on a time crunch and had two events. Again. No hot water and toilet would barely flush. Staff was kind. Good restaurant and pool. Great view of the beach. Not clean. Would not stay here again.

Nice quirky place on the beach with a very friendly staff, the on-site cafe was excellent, food shopping groceries within walking distance. We bugged out there for hurricane Milton as did many others. Overall it was a comfortable stay in a clean dry place. Only one elevator was in service which was inconvenient at times. Watch out for hidden fees like $20 per night parking and $99 “resort fee”. If you bring a pet it’s $99 per night per pet, dogs only. Otherwise very good.

I liked this property and the lobby was super cute. My complaint would be there is only one elevator that moved very very slow. Also our room had a stale smoke smell and the rooms are dated. Also there was no ice in the very old icebox .
