Nice rooms with kitchenettes. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient parking in front of property. Great location on the beach and near downtown. Liked the pool and private beach. Only downside was that you had to pay a daily rate to use beach lounge chairs and umbrellas and there were no lounge chairs or umbrellas by the pool.

We have done our fair share of traveling but this hotel was the exception with the welcoming feeling from beginning to end! We Highly recommend this adult only hotel for convenience, beautiful rooms, beach front views, amazing food made to order and a home away from home feeling!

Our stay was lovely. The view was spectacular. The room clean and the little kitchen spotless. The hotel is located only a short walk to restaurants and cute beach front area. It is a smokefree hotel but there was a smoker located in a room below us that smoked on the balcony.....reason for 4 stars. To enjoy the beach it is only a few steps away. Very picturesque setting. loved it and the staff helpful and friendly. There is security at night so very safe and we never had any trouble finding a place to park the car.

Well, the clean room didn’t write high out of our seven day stay our room wasn’t clean twice so I had to go down and get extra towels and coffee for the room however, Marcos, shnee Shanae. And Richard were most welcoming sweet and helpful. This was our second stay there and we will be back again. Hopefully we get a room with an ocean view instead of number 506.

The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The exterior around the pool and leading out to the beach was nicely decorated and well kept. There was some construction/remodeling going on but things are looking like new. The kitchen/chef was taking a break in the off-season but there are many restaurants/bars about an eight minute walk down the road.
