We had a great time. If you’re looking for a decent place that’s right on the beach for a great value you can’t go wrong
Pros:

Location, staff and we thought the bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Will not be returning.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the beach wasn’t crowded

Cons:

The rooms looked nothing like the pictures. Our room had been cancelled not by us. They got us in a room. Mold in the sink and shower. Nasty floor around toilet. Very dated.

Less than 30 mins because I refused to stay there
Pros:

It’s obviously in a nice location which is beachfront. That is the extent of any of the benefits

Cons:

It was disgusting. Mildew, mold, general filth in the bathroom and throughout the hotel. The furniture was covered in a layer of grime. There was something that looked like slime mold in the bathroom. I wouldn’t even dare take my shoes off there.

Disappointed
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Management not responding to my inquiries and complaints. I was told one thing in person by a staff member however no one followed up and management has ignored my request for a refund on days I did not stay at this hotel.

Pros:

I loved the location. I loved the comfortable beds & the balcony was my favorite

Cons:

The tiki bar is very dead. There was no music..no concerts. The pool & hot tub closes WAY too early & at that time they close beach access.
The vending machines took my $ never gave me a drink.
