I had the most EXCEPTIONAL STAY! I literally was left speechless and in amazement. I will start by saying I stayed in late January (so off season- so idk how accommodating they can be when it’s busy), but I arrived 2.5 hrs early, they were able to get me into my room right away AND UPGRADE my room to ocean view !!! Upon check in the 2 working behind the counter were so sweet and kind. I ended up letting them know I was here on a solo mom reset vaca, the GM happened to be standing behind me and heard and mentioned she was heading out for a reset trip herself. I get to my room and it was beyond perfect. Modern, HUGE, clean and just gorgeous. I leave and come back later to a welcome gift from the GM Sandy and the resort. I literally cried, I have never been treated so well at a hotel and I travel frequently!! Bedding and pillows were super comfy, great big bathroom to get ready in with a huge mirror. I ate all meals at the restaurant. The food is good (nothing I had was exceptional but it was good and reasonably priced and you get a ton). I was able to get meals in to go boxes to bring outside and enjoy the weather. The drinks at the bar were super delicious and price wasn’t bad ! (I did not bring a car so idk about parking, there was also construction out front but I never once went back out that door as I stayed and walked the beach for the days I stayed). Pool area is clean and well kept, hot tub was hot and clean also (plenty of pool towels also). I will be back !

I called reservations before I went and was told there was no parking fee. Then was charged $15 a day and now reservations and hotels say this is a Travelocity issue. When I called holiday inn reservations before my stay everyone was happy to help. I would like my $15 parking per day refunded. I was told pools would be heated indoor pools were freezing. ;(

The hotel was very nice, the outdoor pool was great. It was also a very nice temperature for January. The view was awesome. The room was a dated, with several items that needed attention. The shower definitely did not perform up to expectations. I will also add that you can find much nicer toilet paper in the local gas station bathroom or maybe even in a newspaper stand. You would think that a hotel that promotes itself as a resort could at least have nice toilet paper!?! The breakfast should have been included because it wasn't really any better than a typical free continental breakfast at most hotels. Otherwise, this is a pretty nice place to stay that's right on the beach.

Room was clean. Bathroom also clean. We were on the 3rd floor King size bed and the sofa can be turned into a bed as well. Breakfast came with our stay. Hot, fresh and delicious. Staff from the check in, to the dining area, to the house keeping were all kind and polite. We have 2 toddlers and they had sand castle toys for them to borrow for the day. Pools were nice but it was too cold for us to swim. They do have a heated pool as well. Overall i recommend this hotel and if you become a member IHG. There is a complimentary late check out when available. We stayed for 1 night only.
