I had mixed feelings about this hotel. The location is excellent, right across the street from the beach, and the views are stunning. However, I encountered several issues with the amenities and service that really detracted from my stay. The rooms were somewhat small and needed better cleaning, particularly with regards to vacuuming. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for a beach getaway, but be prepared for some inconveniences.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, where the staff made the experience truly special. The rooms, while basic, were clean and provided a nice view of the ocean. The dining options exceeded my expectations with a great breakfast buffet. One downside is that there will be some renovations soon, and the pool will be closed for a few months, which is unfortunate. Nonetheless, the overall atmosphere and hospitality were highlights of my beach getaway.

While the hotel has some potential with clean rooms and a beautiful beach view, our overall experience was overshadowed by significant service issues, particularly in the restaurant and valet areas. The location is excellent, offering easy access to the beach, but the dining experience fell short and could use improvement. Overall, it's a mixed bag, and I'm not sure I would return based on my experience.

I had an amazing stay at this resort. The corner room with the ocean view was breathtaking, and it provided a wonderful atmosphere for unwinding. The staff was truly outstanding, especially Joe the bartender, who made us feel right at home. While there were some additional fees that added to the overall cost, the value for the experience was definitely worth it. The valet service left something to be desired, which was a bit of a letdown compared to everything else.
