Easy beach access. Fabulous reception staff, especially Donna (3-11 pm). Wonderful housekeeping staff. Big Pig Tavern outside dining options are great (except neither restaurant is open 2-5 pm, cafe with pre-packaged sandwiches and on-premises baked goods is).

We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay. The beach facilities and service were excellent. The pool area is very clean, and the service was great. Our room was freshened twice a day. Valet parking was quick and included with the room. Staff were so friendly and always willing to help. We will definitely be back!!

The management is not very understanding or accommodating to extenuating circumstances. Our 1 year old son became very sick on this trip and we had to leave 1 night early. We went to the front desk before checkout and explained the situation. Management refused to refund for the night or offer a credit. I was hoping to get the chance to stay here again, but I no longer feel this way will be taking my business elsewhere and suggest that everyone do the same
