The room and most of the staff were great. But we got charged $20 a night to park which is crazy for the off season and we didn't know about that until we checked in. Not good. Also, the restaurant manager came out to us while we sitting at t able outside the restaurant and said you can't sit there unless you have food or drink from the restaurant. It was not written anywhere and there was no one at any of the other tables. Not very nice. These things could prvent us from coming back.

Upon checking in I was charged a parking fee of $21.00...just a way to take advantage of a late arrival with an unacceptable charge.

My mom and I come here every year for our birthdays in November, as well as usually for Mother's Day weekend. We love staying here! The view is always amazing, the staff are kind and helpful, the new restaurant is very enjoyable, and the rooms are always clean. You can tell the new owners are working hard to update this property by the constant projects and folks doing little things around the property daily. Our only recommendation would be to update the bathrooms in the guest rooms, they are in dire need. The space could be used so much better which would greatly improve the guest experience. Showers are a pain!!! Otherwise, we love staying with you all and we WILL be back!

Staff was friendly and helpful! We had been here years ago when it was still the Ramada. The new owners have done a lot of upgrades: there is a new tiki bar, an outdoor tropical eating area, and a playground. The restaurant is a bit pricey, so I can’t speak for that part of the hotel. I didn’t particularly like the $20/day parking fee, but to be oceanfront with free use of the hotel’s beach chairs, it was sort of a trade off.
