The room was very nice and roomy with a beautiful view of the beach. Unfortunately during our stay, the restaurant and bar were being renovated, so we had to leave the hotel for meals. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. It also rained the entire time of our stay, so we couldn’t enjoy the beach that was right at out doorstep!

Exceeded Expectations

We loved our stay ! It was our first trip with our little dog. Everyone was extremely nice and treated us & our little dog with kindness. It was our first experience in a pet friendly hotel and was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious , clean & comfortable. No odors indicated a previous pet . The grounds were very clean and well kept. We will defiantly return for future stays.
