This was a great hotel to spend time with family, having the right amount of amenities, front beach is a no brainer, and stores and restaurants were within 5-10 minutes. We will come back!
The pool is where we spent most of our time but everything was wonderful. The bar staff dealt with my husband's joking around with them, they were wonderful.
Breakfast was terrible. Long wait for food. Property was clean and outstanding. Beds slept good but seemed worn. (Made noise when you lay or sit on it.) View was great!!! Staff was real helpful.
Perfect location, right on the powder beach sand. Pool clean, maybe a little more cleaning in common area corridor but overall clean.
The staff was excellent so nice and helpful!
We had so much fun and the location was great. The front desk was amazing when we checked in. Being able to go between the pool at the hotel and the pool next door depending on which kid activity was going on at each kept our little one entertained all day. Will be back for sure.
This place checks all the boxes, if I could give it a 10 star I would. Everything from start to finish was beyond excellent. I want to thank Maggie she has been such a sweetheart, and the whole front desk team has been super friendly. The beach is so amazing I will def come back.
Only thing I would say it could improve, better food options at the hotel.
Loooved it here so so much
Lazy river pool was excellent. Need hooks to hang overnight bags in the bathroom. Shower curtain wouldn’t close so the bathroom floor got wet every time we take a shower. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the pool and the gulf. It was beautiful. Having direct beach access the best part. Got to do some fishing from the beach. Staff was very helpful, but a little disorganized or not knowledgeable.
Food was good. Staff was great. Pool and beach was amazing. Property was kept clean. Room was slightly dirty and had leftovers still in the fridge on check in. But other than that the place was amazing.
