The location was fantastic, with amazing food and entertainment on site and within walking distance. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were quiet, even with the late night festivities going on all around the property. The room was beautiful and updated, had a slept great in the comfy bed, and bathroom was large and updated. The provided beach chairs and towels were most convenient. We stayed two nights before a cruise and really enjoyed this property.

It was clean and we were tired. But literally EVERYTHING in the room was broken. Tv? Broke. Clock radio? Broke. Refrigerator? Broke. Coffee machine? Broke. AND lightbulbs were missing. It was very disappointing, as we were looking forward to staying there. There’s a reason why they call it Breakwater. And we found those reasons in room 516.
