Ok stay

The landscape was great. Very nice surroundings. Around 15 minutes walk from shopping and restaurants. The room was ok. The trash was not removed when we got the room. The shower was moldy. Not sure how it compares to other hotels in the area

The room was nice, although considering that it had a kitchenette I would have expected a couple of plates and bowls, as well as a cloth to wipe off the countertop. Carpet in our building hallway was in dire need of replacement.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The property is simple and clean. Lots of rooms but it didn't feel too busy. Pool and lawn games were a nice way to spend the afternoon. It's a little bit of a walk to the majority of the restaurants, but easily doable. There is also an onsite restaurant (we didn't try it but there were quite a few people there).

We had an amazing time at this hotel! Great facilities, everything was always kept clean and tidy, the pool and grounds were maintained beautifuly, and the food at the hotel restaurant was wonderful! Hotel was an easy walk into the main tourist area and marina. The manager Debbie was absolutely fantastic - cannot say enough about how kind and attentive she was to us, espcially to my elderly mother. We had an issue with the AC at the start of our stay and she came in person to check it out and bring maintenance people to fix the issue. She was also very sweet to my mom, actually running her into the main marina east day so that she wouldn't need to walk. All in all, cannot recommend this hotel and staff enough! We would love to return!

Quality, comfortable and reasonably quiet

A higher-end hotel and a great option if you don't want to be on the beachfront which is busy and probably noisy.

The room that was given to us, the Ac was not working however we were given another room with a working AC. The 2nd room that was given to us for some reason felt more cleaner then the one provided to us first. Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel and the kids loved and enjoyed it.
