Rose and Cindy were amazing- very personable and take such pride in their work - upon arrival - we noticed that the room was absolutely spotless!!! We booked one of the ocean view rooms and the ocean view is a bit obscured on the sides. -although the weather did not cooperate the way that we had hoped - it was still a great few days. The hotel is a bit set back - so if you want an oceanfront property with a panoramic view- this would not be the place for you. The heated pool- though smaller in size - is an added bonus - also the staff kept all of the breakfast items well stocked and the area was always spotless - even when there was a bit of an issue with the Expedia booking and the payment from Expedia - - Anthony was so kind and did not make us feel like we were a burden to him. Great value for the money- 100% would recommend

Room was clean; staff was extremely helpful and friendly! Breakfast options were plentiful and well-stocked throughout the morning.
We visited just after peak season, but staff was very helpful in aiding us to secure beach chairs and umbrella from the local purveyor.

Our check-in was easy, but we’re not offered the WiFi procedure. Breakfast was as expected. Room was super comfy and view was unforgettable! Sad that there was no option for taking chairs to the beach. Would stay here again!
