I liked the proximity to the beach which was just down the street with easy walking distance. The beds were very comfortable and there was a lot of drawer space. I didn't use the pool but it looked very clean.

Property was supper clean and steps to the beach, which was great. Free, tasty coffee and well priced water and snacks were a plus. We did not use the pools but they looked very clean and well maintained. Our room was in the newly acquired Blue Marlin property so maybe this is a work in progress, but the room, although very clean, was extremely musty and damp. We tried to adjust the AC and vent to address, but it didn’t help. Even the sheets and towels felt damp. Staff were very friendly and helpful and I would definitely stay again!

The property was super clean ill give them that. But the size of the room for the price was left much to be desired. Talk about shrinkflation. Unfortunately i wouldn't repeat the visit but i did appreciate how clean it was.
