This was a great spot for a girls' trip. Amazing views. Super clean. Food on site was great. Later hours for food options would be nice, but we understand it isn't lucrative enough to have late night hours. Room was quiet even while music and activities were happening outside. Pool was clean and just warm enough to be comfy to get in while still being refreshing. Would absolutely stay here again! I did not give 5 stars for a couple minor details that kept it from being truly perfect. The door to the room is installed in a way that is a bit loose in the frame causing it to shake every time the wind blew. Sounded like someone knocking on the door every few minutes around the clock. Additionally, while the dehumidifier was certainly helpful for keeping the climate comfortable in the room, it needed to he emptied several times a day and when it became full it would beep loudly many times in a row. We would empty it a couple times during the day and then immediately before going to sleep but were still woken up by it alarming at 3 or 4 in the morning.

Couldn't have any drinks by the pool. If you wanted a drink on the beach you had to buy it from them. I have NEVER been to a resort that enforced this like they did.

The staff was very kind and accommodating. We celebrated a 50th bday for dinner and they had a table decorated nicely at Grace’s restaurant. We were looking for a beachfront stay with a kitchenette and stayed in the beachfront King Suite. They have done really great renovations since hurricane Ian in November 2024. We will definitely be back. Great place for a relaxing vacation as a couple or family.

I have stayed here many times and always enjoy it. My first time back since the hurricane and noticed a few differences. Even though you have a $20/day resort fee, parking charge was $50 and maid service will not show up unless you call and schedule. Beach chairs, table and umbrella is now $35/day and they WILL throw you off the beach at exactly 5pm. You will still have an enjoyable time but it's going to cost you a lot more.

This resort has reinvented itself. Never stayed here before due to past reputation. Newly updated since hurricane, clean, quiet and pleasantly surprised. Great beach access, towels provided, but had to rent lounge chairs/umbrella/table. Stayed 2 nights, next time we will stay longer.

The staff on leaving wrecked our vacation. We asked for a late check and they said ok just ask in the morning. Their was a parade blocking the road and couldn’t get out until 1:00 but we left the room at 11:45 after 6 phone calls and they sent a person at 11:30 to throw us out. Since the road was closed we walked down town and back at 1:30 was met by a 6’6’ lot attendant screaming at us to get our car off the lot. Then the manager called and said she’s going to have my car towed and I said my wife is in the bathroom and I’m just waiting for her. She told me 5 times she’s calling a tow truck and while we’re on the phone my wife came and we left while she was on the phone yelling at me. Then the charged my cc for $50. Do yourself a favor stay away from this place.

Great view from our king suite. Couch is very uncomfortable. Bed is comfy but a little low. My husband had trouble getting out of it. Food at Graces was average but prices were reasonable and happy hour daily from 3-5 had great oysters and wings. We were right above the daily music (10am-10pm). Could be a good thing or bad thing. We enjoyed it but an hour of quiet would have been nice.

Not so great

It was Spring break, so it was pretty crazy there. Short staffed in the breakfast area. Every time we turned around, we had to pay for something! (Car, beach chair, umbrella, small table). We were placed right above the bar, so it was LOUD.
