Always loved staying here but If you want a high floor you may want to show up early. They promised via phone that we could have a high floor in their high-end room, but upon check-in we were on the 1st floor. Will likely stay somewhere else next time.

Great location to the beach and walkable to Jeanette’s Pier. Only issue we had were the beds. Unfortunately, probably the worst mattresses we’ve ever had at a hotel or resort. Needed to use the hot tub every morning for our sore backs but that didn’t open until 10am. The nightly wine and charcuterie was welcome and the cookies every night too. Would consider staying again if the beds are upgraded.

Heaven!

Absolutely amazing staff and hotel. Would like to extend my thanks to the front desk person who helped me and my husband. I ended up so very ill that we had to book another night because I couldn’t leave at our checkout time. She said to my husband “No Worries” and when she said that we were so relieved because we knew she meant it. So accommodating! If they can help you with something they will for sure. Love all the staff!

Loved the place. Deedra at front desk checked us in and was delightful. Gave us great dinner recommendations. Room is decorated in a clean crisp beach decor but in no way gaudy. Balcony looked right out over the dunes at the ocean. Breakfast was very good and staff in breakfast room were always friendly. Definitely will go back.

Fantastic clean very friendly environment! Would highly recommend to friends and family.

This property was a wonderful place to stay! It offers fantastic access to the beach, and I really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. The corn hole boards were a fun touch for entertainment. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and satisfying, with options like biscuits, sausage, bacon, eggs, muffins, and more. There were a few minor issues with housekeeping missing my room for cleaning, but overall, I had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all my family and friends, and I look forward to coming back again!
