We enjoyed our stay. The location is top notch, especially for 4th of July fireworks. The beach is beautiful and very accessible and welcoming to hotel guests. The gift shop, ice cream store and frozen drinks at the Dolphin Bar were notable positives. Negatives were lack of standard in-room amenities and some guests loudly partying throughout the night.
The staff were all so delightful and helpful. Henry went above and beyond to make sure we got up to our room when the electricity went out. The tiki bar, restaurant, and ice cream shops are amazing. The beach was so clean and beautiful. We will be back!

We originally had beach view, when checking in no beach view available. We did receive refund on room for the difference in price. Room was clean, never received other towels for our stay.
This property was in a great location, the staff were pleasant.
For a room with a kitchenette, I had to get a cup of dish soap from the front desk, there was only one elevator to my floor and it was very slow and hot, there was carpet throughout the place, the safe in the room was an extra charge, the tv had to be unplugged and reset every time I wanted to turn it on, the porch had railing going all the way on the partial beach view side, there were no hangers/closet/ironing board/shampoo or conditioner. The tub wouldn’t drain, so maintenance had to come for the and tv,
A few positives included: the tiki bar, pineapple drinks, location, plenty of options on parking, crosswalks, 24 hour front desk, hot tub,
We were thoroughly impressed with the amenities available. Great for families. The beds, kitchenette, and bathrooms were very clean. When I called the front desk or went up front, the staff was very helpful. My beach view room was excellent! The tikibar had a happy hour from 4-6 and was very delicious!
There is a map of the property you will get and a calendar for daily events is on the back, we were surprised with the interactive Polynesian night that involved dancers and asked for volunteers and let all of the children get on stage. This was great as I brought my child and she had a blast.
There is so much to do at the resort and we were here from Saturday-Tuesday, we still didn’t take advantage of all amenities.
The beaches were very clean and
beautiful!
We were in walking distance to stores and restaurants that were excellent (try McGuire’s!!!)
Great location but this is probably one thing that I found great at this place.
Room without place for the cloths- needed to ask for few hangers. Kitchenette with random pieces like three unnecessary lids for non existent pants. No cups, random plates. Curtains with mini holes in random places.
I did not use any of the advertised pools - either too small ( maybe good for kids) or water with the questionable quality ( lazy river).
The place needs refresh and updates - it is old and this is visible everywhere.

The room was spotless, steps to the beach, plenty to do, Tiki Bar was awesome, staff so helpful. WiFi barely worked, but other than that I would def come again. No frills, but great place to lay your head if you want to just do the beach.
