Very Good

The rooms and site are OLD. The rooms were surface level clean, but sand everywhere. The elevator opened right onto the beach so it was expected. I felt the tradeoff of a fancy newer room was worth the balcony overlooking the beach. I would stay here again.
The property is right on the beach which is a plus. Room is spacious and looks clean, but the bathroom is a bit small. Pillow and mattress are way too soft. They will form a dent after you sleep on which is very uncomfortable.

I love it is in front of the beach , the rooms have a stove , refrigerator and a small dining table , the view is beautiful
Our stay was great. The only complaint I have is that when they cleaned the room, the left the dishes dirty in the sink. And they missed a day cleaning.

What I didn't like is the very small pool and there is no free breakfast...
Perfect location very nice. Was surprised to have a little kitchenette in our room and a private balcony for the price. I was also not expecting so many pools and hot tubs. The indoor pool and hot tub was awesome as well as the outdoor ones.
Staff was amazing - so helpful and nice. Bummed our TV didn’t work, and the deadbolt/twist lock you use from the inside didn’t work because the door was out of alignment. The shelf above the bathroom sink hovers over the faucet stream, so if you’re not careful you will continually wack your face on it when trying to wash your face or brush teeth.
I loved having a balcony and having the great view of the beach. It was humid and muggy, especially in the elevators. It didn’t have the nice clean smell either. Needs some upgrades but it’s good for a quick trip.
