Not Worth the money! Craazy resort fees and other charges too high! 2 weeks days over $800 dollars for a musty smelly room with a view of the parking lot. Bartender at the inside bar very rude 👎

Loved the beach and pool area and the fresh fruit infused lobby water. The free food and drink were a very nice perk. Very disappointed when requested caffeinated coffee for room and was told did not have any because old people were drinking all the caffeinated coffee and not the decaf… I’m one if those people!

The property was perfect in relation to the beach access. The bar was close to the beach. The beach servers were terrific!! Marisa was absolutely terrific and the bright spot for this hotel. The other bartenders were rude and I felt like I was disturbing them. The food at the hotel restaurant was just ok but nice there was an option on site. The pool was beautiful and warm but closed at sunset unfortunately. The rooms were average and clean. No issues with the room. Dated but well appointed with fridge and microwave. The young gentleman at the front desk was nice. Parking was fine. $50 resort fee was a bit much but direct beach access was well worth it. Had a fantastic Henna tattoo session courtesy of the hotel. I just left feeling underwhelmed by the workers attitudes. They acted like they didn’t care if I was alive or dead, ordering or not. The last bartender actually put my limes in my hand. All in all, the room was comfy and I slept well.
