The staff were all very friendly. The lobby smelled like orange blossoms which was so nice and really added to the ambience. They were doing some construction at the property to build a new pool facility but it didn't negatively affect our stay.

There was some construction on site and the staff absolutely went out of their way to accommodate us for any inconvenience. We were in walking distance of Uncle Vinny's Pizzeria which I would highly recommend. We had immediate access to a lovely Tiki Bar on an extended pier that was maybe 100 feet from the breaking waves. We will be returning to this hotel in the future for sure!
