Staff was friendly and helpful! We had been here years ago when it was still the Ramada. The new owners have done a lot of upgrades: there is a new tiki bar, an outdoor tropical eating area, and a playground. The restaurant is a bit pricey, so I can’t speak for that part of the hotel. I didn’t particularly like the $20/day parking fee, but to be oceanfront with free use of the hotel’s beach chairs, it was sort of a trade off.

Disappointed

This was our 2nd time there and this time was disappointing! Hair on shower floor as well as on shampoo. Bathroom door made a loud scraping sound. Dried pasta in microwave. Only one chair in room for two people. And to top it off, we had to pay a PARKING fee, when their website there is no resort fees. That's very deceptive!!! Most places off tea bags and coffee...nope. We had to dig around to get a few tea bags. Just very disappointing getaway and will be our last in that place.
