Although the staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, the Property was not as clean as most people would like. We booked our stay through a third party so we were given a room facing the parking lot along the shared fence with the boardwalk. A very active parking lot where we heard fighting, yelling , cars reeving their engines and car alarms going off all night long. Having two young children with us we did not feel safe in that location. Before sunrise we went to the lobby asking for a room change due to the situation and were instantly given a new room on the opposite side of the resort. The location was much more quiet and felt safer. The room was exactly the same being a beach resort not always the cleanest but ok. What truly finalized my bad experience what the $8 bottles of water in the room and finding one was already opened and refilled with what I assumed was tap water. Very unsafe and unsanitary. Any child who would not know about the sealed cap could have drank it not knowing it was opened already. The property should remove that offering if they are unable to properly provide the guest with that reassurance.

I recently stayed at this resort back in November as just a passing through booking. Boy was I pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the property is. The staff is outstanding as well. It led me to rebook for spring break with my family. Once again the property is gorgeous, family friendly, and amazing staff. Julietta in housekeeping is such a gem. Please give her a raise. My family loved her hospitality. My only disappointment during this stay was the bathroom shower. It was disappointing to see that it wasn’t cleaned prior to our stay. The walls had hair in multiple spots and the floor of the shower as well as the corners were covered in dirt/debri. After using a towel to clean out the shower myself, I then enjoyed the rest of my stay. This resort has outstanding staff and amazing views. We will definitely be back.

Overall nice

The hotel and property was nice, clean and well maintained. The only issue that we had was that the hotel is very noisy. Walls seemed to be paper thin and you could everything from all sides and above. And since the ice machine was right outside our door I was able to hear the other guest on their 5 am ice run (why does one need ice so early?). Other than that I'd stay again. Ill just come prepared with a sound machine and some ear plugs.

What can I say this was one of the best stays. The bright white sands of the beach the setting is amazing, but even better was the staff they were beyond accommodating to me and my family. Standouts were 1. The bar at the beach makes their own homemade bloody mary spices and concoction 2. The cleaner who found my daughter’s rosary beads 3. The front desk staff always so accessible and willing to accommodate. We were there for an airforce retirement ceremony so the location was perfect.
