    We had the room right by the stairs so everyone could walk by and see inside.

    The view was amazing and the staff was super helpful

    Overall great place to stay near the beach and shops. Even though parking can be a challenge we didn’t have to drive muc

    “Continental breakfast” was only granola bars, coffee, juice and come prepackaged muffins and donuts. 2/3 days we stayed and came for breakfast the tray was empty or nearly empty at 8am. On busy days parking can be an issue since there is only 4-5 designated parking spots for the hotel. If those are full (always are) you have to try and find public parking which can be a challenge in the area. The first night we had to pay $24 for 3hr parking across the street because there was no where to park.

    The location is amazing! Rooms were very clean, staff were friendly. We enjoyed the fire pits at night and being able to borrow chairs, towels and umbrellas for the beach.

    Again......the access to the beach was down a large flight of stairs (nothing to do with the resort, 2 staircases within about 100 yards of each other to gain access to the beach.) and got tiresome very quickly. LOVE THE LANDSCAPING all around the resort! Absolutely amazing.

    Staff was very friendly and Helpful. location was great, right near the beach. Just had to walk up and down the stairs a lot going to the beach. ITS NOT a flat area to get to the beach. Otherwise, great location to shopping, bars, rest etc....all with in short walking distance.

    Room was a bit weathered and dated. Had to request housekeeping to make up sofa bed for grandkids after they first told me where bedding was and to do myself. Broken window in shower.

    I did not like that I had to go down to check out a hair dryer and pillows. People must steal them?

    I liked that it was close to the beach and had a pool/jacuzzi. I also liked that it was pet friendly.

    It was hard to find parking. Seemed like a lot of the general public was using hotel parking to be closer to the beach. For the price of the hotel, The breakfast? Was not a breakfast and could’ve included more items like eggs, oatmeal and bagels

    Location was directly in front of 2 beach access walk ways. Staff were very nice on both shifts. They allow beach umbrella and beach chairs for guests to use

    Really not much..... We had a couple maintenance things that we had to ask to be fixed a couple of times. Also, I'm glad we ended up not renting a car, because parking looked like it was impossible over the weekend.

    The grounds were amazing and made for such a beautiful place to visit with people or read a book etc.
