Let me start by saying the view and beach were amazing. It is a quiet end of the beach and there was a strong police and park ranger presence. The rooms are dated and do not feel very fresh. The water trickled out of one of the bathroom faucets. The water that came out of the bathtub tap was brown. The staff was not very warm and welcoming. Even upon checkout, I was never even asked how my day was. They were no beach chairs and umbrellas because it was considered the off-season. I had previously asked if that would be available and was told yes. Had I known, I would’ve packed beach chairs. I cannot speak to the bar and restaurant as I did not experience those.

The staff at the hotel were very nice. Let me check in Early. Convenient garage right next to hotel. Patio door wouldnt open. They called maintenance. Tv wouldn't work. They called maintenance. Tv remotes were horrible!! Barely changed channels. Kitchen was nice but left 1 tiny pack of dry cream ( about 1/8 tsp), and 2 tiny packs of sugar ( about 1/ 2 tsp). Not even enough for 1 cup of coffee or tea. 1 small pack of coffee.. no tea bags. ( i dont drink coffee). Cant get ice anywhere - have to buy. Can rent chairs & umbrella for beach. 1 umbrella & 2 chairs cost $50.00. ( a bit much). 1 tiny, tiny bar of soap in shower. No blow dryer. Tiny container of shampoo. Beds were comfortable. All in all not bad, but wont be back.

I went in the off season, but the room was extremely nice for the cost. I paid $218 a night. I grew up in the area and have driven by a 100 times as a kid. Decided to give it a shot while I was in town visiting, was not disappointed at all. Highly recommend
The morning view was amazing!

All rooms are oceanfront. This resort is the last one on the road and therefore quiet, but only a short drive to the local activity. Indoor and outdoor pools are delightful. Providing umbrellas would be a welcome improvement. Our room, 207, was clean but the bathtub drain was slow and the sprayer in the kitchen sink was so clogged we used water from the bathroom for drinking and washing dishes.

The room was clean and staff were super friendly and helpful! Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working. As this had been listed as an issue mentioned by prior visitors to this property, I can only assume it is an ongoing issue that perhaps should not be mentioned as an amenity if it is not properly functioning.
