This place was great we stayed in a king room with kitchenette (2 burner, large fridge, microwave). It had a little dinning table for 3 and spacious bathroom. Everything was clean and the turquoise color was fun. Being right on the beach was great and they have a really nice gazebo/sitting area with lots of different kinds seating to enjoy the ocean view. The staff was very friendly and the continental breakfast area was super clean and well stocked and nice. I was really impressed. Don't expect a fancy buffet of course but it definitely exceeded my expectations. My 3 year old loved the playground and it was right outside our room. Super convenient. We ate at plaza aztecha for dinner which was great and good service if you want Mexican. Only cons was I wish there had been a can opener in the kitchenette and a sponge and small thing of dish soap. Not a big deal but It's usually provided at other places I've stayed with a kitchenette. Also bring paper plates and bowls that is not provided as well. However they do provide paper towels, pots pans skillet and cooking utensils. Convenient location near lots of stores if you forget something- Publix, Target, TJ Maxx, etc. Great place for a great price! I would recommend and stay again

I was a bit apprehensive as this is an older hotel and the price was low. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My room appeared to have been recently remodeled and was first class. The lobby and breakfast room are older but functional and the breakfast was good. The area is great with many options for dining and sight seeing! I would gladly go back.
