I loved the hospitality of Tonya? She was the night person at the front desk. She was very warm and inviting. Even though the weather wasn't the best, I had a very good time. This is a great spot to visit ☺️.

It was a good stay, mostly. Staff was amazing. Lovation was amazing. Room was clean. Just missing a few conveniences in the room such as a towel holder in the bathroom sink area, lights at the bathroom sink didn't all work, and the dead bolt on the front door didn't work. Again, minor issues but still inconveniences. The outside could use some attention, but that wasn't make or break for us, especially with the price.

We chose this hotel for economic reasons ! We did not want a five-star hotel, but we wanted a five star beach experience !!! And that is exactly what we got !!!! The beach is absolutely incredibly beautiful!!! The hotel staff is very friendly. The hotel is very clean and the beds and the pillows are clean and comfortable for sleep after a fun filled beach day !! A rental car is necessary as there is no place to eat for about 4 miles . We absolutely loved our stay here and plan to return !!!!!

The hotel is on the beach, so it has a beautiful view. It's in a good location and the staff was kind. There was a kitchen, which was convenient. Our issue with cleanliness was due to a bug issue in our room. I reported it and they refunded the resort fee when we checked out. Not even sure why there was a resort fee.
