This is a motel not a hotel! The room doors open straight out onto an open walkway. The rooms get very hot and there is noise from outside cars, people in other rooms, people walking past. The restaurant staff could be much more welcoming and helpful. The food could also be much improved for the price the quality of food and service doesn’t match.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Even had a towel animal as a surprise. Staff were very nice. Unfortunately during our planned stay the restaurant and bar were closed. We had to leave the resort to have dinner which was not in our plans. My only complaint was not knowing until we arrived. Not the staffs fault and they apologized and offered other amenities. I would have enjoyed relaxing out by the pool along the marina. Ended up going to Belmont Park which was not in the plans and more of an amusement area. Would consider staying again sometime but would call to confirm restaurant and bar by pool was open or cancel and go elsewhere

You could easily walk to Mission Beach (25 mins) but they do have a shuttle that will take you to the Beach or SeaWorld for $5 per person. We would definitely stay again.
