Staff was friendly. Great location on the beach and nice pool. We would have preferred a microwave in the room but there was one available along with washer and dryer access that we used while there. Only negative is that we booked online instead of with the hotel directly and we were not given the stay 7 pay for 5 rate.

Very nice quiet spot if you’re looking for somewhere with amazing beach access and the pier/bar right next door is a huge plus! Booked this trip for an anniversary and having beach access at the hotel directly where it only took a few steps to be at the beach was wonderful! Very helpful staff too, definitely make sure to ask for food recommendations cause we got a stellar breakfast recommendation by the person at the front desk after we checked out! Definitely will be coming back the next time we’re in the OKI area :)
