Great view!

First off, they offered rooms with two KING beds which is amazing when your man-sized teenagers have to share a bed! Everything was clean, staff were all very friendly, and the water view from the 4th (top) floor was amazing. The resort does have activities daily, though we were in town to visit family so didn't participate. The beach is lovely, we sat out there one evening to read and watch the sunset. I would recommend!

Wonderful being right on the beach and having a balcony view. The room was decent but starting to show some wear in the shower area but overall it was nice. It was close to downtown, casino, and Meijer’s.
