Wonderful

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.
I'm very happy to be here, everything is perfect, clean and the service is excellent.

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.
