Its an older property that could use a few updates. Pool is small but adequate. Could use more chairs around the pool or maybe an umbrella table and chairs to make it more inviting. Beds are comfy and bathroom was clean.

They called it a "resort" really it's just a hotel with a pool. The room was clean, except for the coffee pot had coffee still in it, and underneath the rim of the toilet was nasty. I brought both of these issues to the attention of the desk clerks. I did love that the room (all the rooms) have an ocean veiw.

Felt bad for the employees…
At the time of check in, many newly acquired key cards were not working. A kind lady named Karen at the front desk worked diligently to resolve the issue, and was kind and helpful to me and other guests. All the staff I encountered was very kind, but the hotel itself could use some serious renovations. Rooms are very outdated, WiFi worked less than half the time, water backed up in the toilet, sink, and bathtub. Beds were adequate. Room seemed decently cleaned, but due to being so dingy and outdated, it doesn’t have that appearance. It’s a place to sleep on the beach. Between that and the kind employees, those are about the only positive qualities.

I was super excited thinking I got a great deal for my two nights there. I got catfished. The pictures are no where near what it looked like in person. I’m never one to complain, but I didn’t even want to sit on the bed. We checked in and checked out all within an hour having to scramble and find somewhere else to stay since we drove six hours to get there. Please read the reviews and don’t just think it looks good because of the pictures they post.
