Pros:

Great price! Kitchenette in room! Comfortable beds. Stay there every year.
Staff is always nice and even help you get back in your room when you lock yourself out. Lol.

Cons:

It's combursome getting to the beach with lots of stuff going through the 2 doors down by the pool. I would recommend walking around to the side of the building through the parking lot. They have built a nice ramp to roll wagons on to get to the beach.

Great location but Okay okay hotel
Pros:

Location was great , has a private access to the beach. outdoor was well maintain .

Cons:

A few concerns:
1) The price does not match the quality of the room. There are better hotels right across the road at the same or even lower rates.
2) The lobby had an unpleasant smell and did not appear clean.

Amazing staff and location
Pros:

Diana was amazing! The day time front desk lady was awesome as well. Best sense of humor. Awesome view, loved having a hot tub and pool. Close to so much

Cons:

The only thing id change is the elevator definitely needs updated. Really slow, stops at level 3 randomly, some of the lights don't show on the buttons especially the up button from bottom floor. Other than that everything was amazing and will be back

Would maybe stay here again but would need to rent a car instead of a golf cart.
Pros:

The location was perfect to access the beach, the rooms were comfortable.

Cons:

Some of the staff were very rude at times. We had a golf cart that required plugging in a cord to charge, they unplugged it, took the cord, and wouldn’t allow us to charge it. Very unprofessional.

Pros:

Staff were very friendly
Location is good

Cons:

4th time staying here in the past 14/15 years and I never experienced what I did over the weekend. People not staying at the hotel were able to get in and used the pool, Jacuzzi and beach area, they even washed their hair at the rinse area before they left. I know they weren't staying at the hotel because they didn't have bracelets on and they had their personal things and bags and left when they were done. Not sure how they were able to sneak in or out but I'm sure it wasn't their first time doing it, it was a family of nearly 7 including a small child, teens and adults. They gave the kids who were actually booked at the hotel a hard time, including mine. There are cameras at the hotel, not sure how they didn't catch what was going on. Also, the third floor smelled like weed.
