Staff was excellent!! 1st room not good. Needed maintenance and upkeep. Fan needed dusting. After dinner found ants in bed. Staff moved us to a different room which was better maintained but unfortunately it didn’t have the ocean view. Beach was beautiful loved the chairs and umbrellas provided. Neat fire pits area. For the costs per night I expect better rooms. Staff surprised me with bottle of champagne and a heartfelt note for my special birthday. It was a nice surprise.

Could have been better

It was nice, room had been recently updated. It was missing a bath mat so stepping out of the shower was very slippery. Also they were short on staff so checking in and out was a very long wait. I’m sure things will improve

Check-in was average. Easy parking. Room had about 30 mosquitoes in it. Not ideal. Nighttime brought more. The lower lobby of our building literally had 2 swarms of mosquitoes on the walls. We’re talking apocalyptic number of bugs. Easy to fumigate, I’d presume. Not relaxing. Not worthy of another stay.
