Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The sheets were old with yellow stains. The towels were gross. There were no sheets or blankets or pillows for the pullout. We had to go down to get sheets but they didn't have any pillows available. Coffee was 3 dollars a cup in the morning. There is no water available. The tiki bar was not open at any point during our stay in August. The paint was peeling in the lobby. The floor of the room was slanted. There was rust running down the door. There was mold in the bathtub. This property has great views but was otherwise disgusting and depressing.

Our unit was fairly clean. There were a few plumbing issues-the tub did not drain until the plug was removed and one toilet handle did not work well. The restaurant and tiki bar were not open. The views are beautiful. For an older property, it is fine.

Beach access was perfect, some staff were nice and some were rude. Awesome views but the room was dirty, floors were filthy and the shower felt like it was so old you could see all the rusty stuff on the shower head.

It was not specified that the rooms are individually owned. Called the front desk and asked if there was a hair dryer available and the front desk said "I don't know, is there?" Why else would I be calling..... I told her I couldn't find one and asked if I could get one and she said "No, they don't belong to us". She was quite rude and didn't explain that each room has their own amenities.... Restaurant, coffee bar and Tiki bar were also closed without any prior warning.

Good Place to Stay

The only problem we had was with the restaurant. Saturday morning we went for breakfast placed our order and waited more than 1/2 before we found that they had lost our order ticket and then waited about another 1/2 before getting served. We only wish the waitress would have told us from the get go instead of us just sitting there asking several times how much longer and seeing everyone that came after us get served we were literally about the last to get served besides another couple. Although the waitress wiped out the charges it was a very unpleasant experience and the other waitresses/waiter also apologized, then for lunch we figure we try again and when we received the bill we were charged twice for a sweet tea drink when it was only one. Restaurant needs to shape up and be more careful of what they are doing!

How wonderful to be so close to the ocean! Very convenient to have two pools as well. The rooms were fine. The restaurant and bar could have greater hours, and open every day. They were actually closed our last two days. If you are without a car there isn't anything accessible. Some staff were fabulous, others were sad and unenthusiastic. Overall we loved our stay though! Thank you!

The restaurant room service was not available. Called 5 times and no answer. Expedia rooms always seem to be not the best location—always a long walk to end of hall. No hair dryer, shampoo, body wash in rooms. A wedding took place Saturday night and our room was directly impacted by noise.

I've stayed before multiple times and it was ok. But now it is overpriced and run down. Uncomfortable bed, low shower pressure, water damage on the ceiling, dirty furniture. And the staff acted like they didn't want to be there. Lame.
