I really enjoyed staying here. My room was a walkout so it was only 6 steps from my door to the sand. The view was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. The reason for only leaving 4 stars instead of 5 was because the ad photos were very misleading. The property looks ALOT different in reality. It’s much older and it’s not as clean as I thought it would be. But it wasn’t disgustingly dirty. It just could’ve been better. The beds were ok but didn’t have blankets or bedskirts. Only sheets. No bed bugs tho. My room didn’t have any chairs inside but there were 2 on the porch. The fridge was cold. The water was extremely hot so be careful. I only had to turn the shower knob halfway and it was perfect temp for me. The laundry room was very trashy looking but it was free and units worked well. I’ve stayed in nicer places but I’ve also stayed in wayyy worse. But for the price and the location, I’m satisfied for sure. I didn’t get to swim in the pool but it was clean. The view from the pool was awesome. If you’re very picky about where you stay and have to have the best of the best, then I would recommend looking for something else. But if you’re like me and everything doesn’t have to be 100% top notch then you’ll love it. The pros outweighed the cons for me. I would definitely stay here again, no doubt. Hopefully I’ll get to come back soon.

Hotel need renovations room didn’t have any phones for us to call and report to front desk. Check in was easy but you do have to pay a deposit along with resort fee. Customer service was great!
