Great Family Vacation
My family vacationed here for 4 days and enjoyed it! The weather was a little chilly so we didn’t get to enjoy some of the amenities. But we did use the laundry service, eat at the restaurant, and walk the beach. We had a great time! This is our second stay here and we will definitely be back!

6/10 Good

It was an okay stay.
Older than I thought. Cleaning service did not come, they actually just put a do not disturb sign on our door instead. Got a beachfront room and could hear the night time music through the closed door.

We experienced a good relaxation.

10/10 Exceptional

Overall nice
The hotel and property was nice, clean and well maintained. The only issue that we had was that the hotel is very noisy. Walls seemed to be paper thin and you could everything from all sides and above. And since the ice machine was right outside our door I was able to hear the other guest on their 5 am ice run (why does one need ice so early?). Other than that I'd stay again. Ill just come prepared with a sound machine and some ear plugs.
