Disliked: Staff & service
We had a great time. We didn’t spend much time in the room or the pool. What was upsetting about this trip is that on the second night we requested more towels (we were a family of four)and they asked us to come get them at the front desk, okay fine. When we got to the desk to get the towels, there were 5 towels folded there, when we reached out to grab them and the girl at the front desk stopped us and asked how many we needed, and we asked if we could take all of them, she made a noise like if she didn’t want us to take them all, so we said we need at least 4 and left 1 towel there on the desk.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Nothing fancy. Good value. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent housekeeping. All rooms face the inner court yard which has a nice pool. I stayed during the off-season (Oct) so it was very quiet during the week. Plan to return in the future.

Everything was great, we loved our room! So spacious and clean. Our only “complaint” is that the linens weren’t really comfortable. The bed and pillows were, but the blanket was just a slightly thicker sheet, and the towels were all lower quality than we’d expected for the quality of the room and overall cleanliness of the entire building. We loved our stay and will definitely look at this hotel first for next beach trip!
