The property is right across the street to the beach and is walking distance to shops and restaurants. The hotel was very clean and all the staff we interacted with were very nice and helpful. We had an issue with our room and they took care of it as soon as possible. Overall, very happy with my stay.

Beautiful, convenient location

It's a beautiful, convenient location but you need to have an exterior room to appreciate the view. The rooms are large and have everything you need. The one drawback is that there is no soundproofing so you hear everything including water running in the pipes. The staff was friendly and efficient, parking is good and the restaurant next door is fabulous. The activity room has lots of extras for families to enjoy. Had we been staying longer we would have taken advantage of that. We also didn't have the continental breakfast so I can't comment on that.

The location is great with quick access to the beach and nearby restaurants, the staff was very friendly and helpful, a decent amount of choices for breakfast was included. Our room was clean except for the bathroom floors which still had sand from previous guests, the "ocean view" was from ground level with the busy road blocking the sand and waves, and grounds maintenance started at 7am on Friday morning with chainsaws and blowers. It may have been a neighboring property, but coffee with the sounds of waves was not an option. I was disappointed I didn't get the ocean experience I had hoped for.
