This place is nothing like advertised. Save your money and stay somewhere else.
Pros:

The pool was nice.

Cons:

It was dirty! There's no beach access or view as advertised. The room smelled bad. Asked for a refund and was refused.

Perfect weekend stay with all basic needs met. ❤️
Pros:

This property is very close to everything. All of the room doors open to the very large pool. The pool was a great addition to the stay with lots of deck and seating. The rooms were very large and spacious compared to your average room at Crystal Beach or on Galveston Island.

Cons:

If you’re looking for a luxury resort setting with over the top amenities then this place isn’t for you. They also don’t claim to be what they aren’t. However, for a short weekend stay with family in tow this hotel is the perfect place to rest your head after a long day of beach combing or sitting in the sand.

I do wish more towels were offered in the rooms.

If you’re looking for a “Hilton “ type of property- this isn’t it. But, if someplace to rest,shower and refresh you foun
Pros:

Location to other family members and to the beach. The pool area was very clean and there was a nice deck area next to our room with tables and chairs. We were there Monday-Wednesday, the crowd had not arrived yet so it was very quiet.

Cons:

Don’t know about all rooms but I would have liked some place to hang clothes.

I will book here every time I come to visit.
Pros:

This hotel was centrally located on the main road. Very well lit up at night too. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly!

Cons:

I would have liked the room to be more insulated from outside noise and the A/C and room fan was louder than I am used to at home.
