I am so glad we stayed here! This is a great place for the cost. No issues with staff, all were kind and helpful. It is true that the drinks they had available at the bar were very random, not a full bar. I think that I thought there was like a cafe of some sort also before going, but I only saw ice cream there and no food menu.. so I'm unsure if you can get food on the premises other than the vending machines. Yes the property was dated but it was spacious and clean. I didn't understand why cleaning services didn't take care of the room on the 3rd day as it said in the paperwork. The room was spacious, the pool was warm and fun, the beach was beautiful and nowhere near crowded, and my son and I had a BALL! For this price and beachfront during spring break, I would absolutely do it again!

Once we arrived at the property we were told we didn’t actually have a room on the hotel that was on the beach but actually the room was across the street. The room had mold in the bathroom which I am highly allergic to. There was also a dark red stain on the carpet. Due to the mold we decided that we would not stay here and reached out to the front desk staff who told us that we still had to pay for one night because we didn’t give a 24 hour cancellation notice despite there being mold. I definitely would not recommend this “resort” if you are planning on coming to Florida I would recommend spending the extra money if you can on something nicer.

We liked it was very quiet where we were at. We never received towels we requested. The room was clean but it had a smell. I have to go buy air freshener. I had spray but that wasnt working. The view was beautiful. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.
