Beautiful hotel, the food was actually good and we enjoyed breakfast by the window. It was super comfy and prices were reasonable. We even had a few drinks one night and it was cheaper than going to a restaurant. The place is super quiet and kids friendly. We enjoyed the access to the beach and the heated pool. Wonderful experience!

It os a beautiful facility, dorextly on the beach. Room was nicely decorated though the balcony had some debris left from previous guest or blowing in from the gulf and only one key card worked. Hard pass at the pool tiki bar. The drinks were not very good unfortunately.

Overall a great choice

Overall the hotel is great and the staff is amazing. My one complaint is the balcony door doesn’t stay open/can’t be propped, so if you want to listen to the ocean/feel the breeze at night without AC you can’t. In my option, it defeats the purpose of having an ocean facing room. There are some general design flaws in the hotel too as the foot showers from the beach aren’t conveniently located. However all this is minor compared with the high level of service from staff and room comfort

This resort checked every box I needed for our brief but amazing stay. Staff was happy, energetic and informative(especially the Blue Angel activity in the area!) Super Easy and private to get to the beach, parking was a piece of cake, room was very clean and relaxing. There is a ton of options nearby, however I feel like it couldnt have been a better decision to stay here.
