Great stay! Friendly staff, secluded feeling especially for the beach which is a perk, but also very close to shopping and dining. Only recommendation would be to add a hot tub and showers when leaving the beach.

This hotel is very nice as well as the staff and the views. We enjoyed ouraelves for our 20th anniversary. There were a few small issues that kept us from giving this place a perfect score. Firstly, there is a note in the hotel room that says if you want your room serviced please be out of the room by 10am, so we dis that, came back at 3pm and rhey were juat getring to our room when we wantes to cool off a bit. The watwr pressure in the shower was non existent as well as the drain cover was loose and off. We would get a bad sewage smell if we left the bathroom door closed, and the molding on the bottom of the shower door was falling off. Lastly, there was no breakfast included or offered without a fee. For a hotel such as this, i wanted a little more included to add to my stay. The staff was very friendly and accomodating and we would definately come back. I stepped on a nail on the wood stairs going to the beach, but i was not bleeding and it dis not break the skin. I told the front desk staff, and within 30 minutes it was fixed. Thank you for that, it shows you were listening.

We were able to get early checkin. We got checkin and out quick with Bella. She made great recommendations. Everything was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom toilet. It just kept running. And housekeeping did a terribe job at fixing our beds and putting more towels in the bathroom. I would most definitely stay here again, though.
