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.
This was our second visit. Fun both times. We stayed on the 3rd floor king studio, no kitchen, partial view. Awesome view of the the Gulf from the balcony. Lots of things to do there for adults and kids, beautiful attached beach!
Our room had a good view. If your going with kids, it's a good place. We went for our anniversary week and couldn't sleep for all the noise. Just a bad week to go since some were on spring break.

Everything was amazing. Check in staff was wonderful. Everyone was so nice great vibe and we are definitely coming back !!!
The tiki bar was closed. We had a great view. Rooms were clean. Seems a remodel has been done since I was there last. Love the wood tile floors and tile shower!!
Room was AMAZING! SPOTLESS! The absolute best view ever! We were in awe. The balcony was as long as the condo! Just stunning. It's definitely our new go to. No doubt about it.

beach view was killer! only complaint is no shampoo or conditioner!
Location and staff were great! Room was outdated and not the cleanest. Shower water pressure was not good. The facility was overall dirty and outdated.
We dont use the facility to much.....Small pool, many many kids, we wasnt able to use the spa, becouse small and full of minors..
bad experience...
room balcony was a little view to the beach and sharing with the next room, with people was smoking.. also any tv wasnt work....SO NEVER BACK THERE ....

Pros: You don’t have to leave the resort if you dont want to. Beautiful view, convenient amenities. All vacuums were taken, but front office staff was helpful and let me borrow broom. Tiki bar, poolside restaurant were convenient. The kids had fun and would def come back
Cons: I would ask for a broom or vacuum to be readily available for sand. Room got hot after showering, even with AC on. Restaurant food was ok. Hallways could be cleaner (carpet and sand) Walls were a bit thin and we could hear movement from upstairs and downstairs

Disliked: Cleanliness
Shower didn't work, the TV reception was awful and there was no coffee in the room. View and Tiki Bar was good.
I have to start mention the staff is very nice. All are very polite and try their best. Saying this, I have to say the property looks terrible. Old, nasty, smells like sewer. We couldn’t use our elevator during the stay because the smell inside was unbearable. It’s an old property and no maintenance seems to be done in a long time. It’s a real shame because the property is perfectly located and the beach is amazing.
