Awesome Beach Resort
We had a wonderful time. Perfect location for a small child. Only unfortunate thing was a horrible fatal car accident right outside our suite. I suggested to the front office that you go to a city council meeting to discuss what a terribly planned intersection that is. We continued to hear racing motor cycles even after the accident. Would love to come back again in the fall

Beach getaway
Had a bit of a problem at check in, but Christopher, the manager, apologized and made it right. Beach is directly across the street and the hotel provided umbrellas and beach chairs at no cost. Parent brought their kids to the pool at 8:00 so rooms close to the pool get a lot of noise. The suites are roomy with a beachy decor. Will stay again.

Amazing for families!
This hotel was amazing! The customer service was on point, and I love that it's so close to so many delicious places to dine and great places to shop. My kids loved all of the amenities the hotel provided, especially the putting green. The pool felt amazing, and I love that the hotel provides everything you need for a day at the beach, including the sand toys. There is a park right across the street that was a huge hit with my kids, and they loved walking down the street for delicious snow cones every day. This is such a great stay for our family. I will absolutely stay here again.

Did not know you had to pay for parking which made it more difficult to find a space even though you paid for parking. That need to do something about that inconvenience.
