"The jacuzzi could've been cleaner, there was a lot of debris, the switch to turn the jets on was hard to open and when we turned it on the jets made a loud noise but they worked. Also, the breakfast was minimal and not very warm. Otherwise, the hotel is very clean, the bed very comfortable, and it is located walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and public beaches."

"The location of the property was excellent. The staff was great. The free breakfast in the morning was amazing, to have private beach access was key.. It would’ve been nice if they had chairs that you didn’t have to rent at the beach, but other than that it was great, we just went and bought our own chairs and small cooler. The beach was beautiful."

"Everything was good, a little dated, it’s an older facility they have tried to keep updating. It smells old though, not sure much you can do about that. Our most disappointing experience was the bed comfort. Did not sleep well, need to update mattress. Otherwise was a great place to stay for the price. I would definitely go back again."
