This is a place where everyone is so friendly and gets to know you. Suzette at the front desk is wonderful. If I had a business I would have her there. Nothing is too much and she is so friendly. Everything you need is there. The wings are so good at backflip

First time staying here and I will be back! Everything you need is right there, including grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. The pool and the beach are literally right outside the lobby doors. The beachfront room and balcony was well worth the money.

Clean and safe. They do not charge for chairs, but there is a resort fee of over $40 so you do end up paying for them. The weather was bad and we never used a chair or umbrella and still paid the fee. Unsure why you get charged if you don’t use anything.

Great staff and amenities! The resort fee included everything one could need for a perfect beach trip. Walking out to the beach, there were staff to give you a towel and ask where you would like chairs and an umbrella setup. There were free bikes to explore the town, though the Main Street is only 0.5 miles from the resort making for a perfect evening walk on a quiet street.
