Cute hotel right on the beach with chairs. Our room was on the 2nd floor. It wasn’t completely remodeled like the pictures but was still clean and contemporary. The pool area was very nice. All staff were friendly and kind.

Fla Water isn’t good. That plus the heat - good idea to have waters in the room. The facility offered 2 waters, but then I was told it’s optional. Didn’t get it the last days. They did put out chairs on the beach. Very close to the hotel. 50 steps. Nice touch. Great beach to walk on or run. Small outside pool bar and restaurant- good food but of course on the high side $$ Pool was ok/warm but could use a few more degrees.

Our room was beautiful, clean and updated. It was lovely to be able to walk right out to the beautiful beach to hunt for sea shells. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

What a delightful stay! Accommodations were way better than I expected in our suite. The little kitchen area was supplied with everything needed including paper towels, dish towels, utensils, keurig, toaster, etc. Furnishings were beautiful. Loved the large bathroom with soaking tub and shower. Everything was very clean however the floors could have been cleaned better. Trash left under bathroom vanity, floors need mopping. I would LOVE to stay here agin in the future and will tell all my friends to stay here.

Resort?

The wait staff was very friendly especially Frank and tiki bar staff. The rooms, however were dated and small. The bathroom was very dated with an old cast iron tub...several chips and needed a deep clean. HVAC rattled and made noise all night. However, the beach was steps away...so guess was the higher cost. Little disappointed but they were very central on the island.

Nice basic property. Great beach access and chairs. The room was clean and comfortable however the air conditioner fan is very loud and disruptive to sleep. The bathroom fan light stays on continuously so the bedroom is not dark at night. The fire alarms went off several times during our stay. Notification was not given to guests that workman would be accessing the room mid day to test system and set off alarms repeatedly. Then alarm went off at 6:00 am in the morning and staff was not around to communicate with guests regarding status of alarm. The front desk person said that it was set off in the kitchen and that she could not notify guests looking for answers outside of building because she “needed to stay with the money”. We requested a call from the manager on duty and did not receive a call.
