Don't judge a book by its cover! This property may look aged, but we were so very impressed with how well the owners have updated the interior and pool area. It's clean, comfortable, modern, and the customer service is the best I've experienced in a while. Meghan is the epitome of a hospitality professional!

Resort is ok. Meghan at front desk is awesome! The hotel is old but pretty clean. Tiki bar is really loud in the afternoons when the music starts. Had or room windows and art on our walls rattling for hours. Pool is right next to public bar so only feels usuable in morning. Otherwise you're the bars entertainment besides the live music. Food was ok. Works when you dont want to go out. A little pricy. Hotel is very reasonably priced. Would recommend rooms need updating badly. Music from bar toned down just a bit.
