This is not a resort but an old motel. I’d advise you to look else where. Crack heads stealing your money. They stole my money. Thief’s make sure you do your full research before you book this place don’t be fooled. The pictures you see are completely misleading. Expedia did nothing for us. They try to gift you 25$ credit on key cash. This place is a scam, scam, scam!

I did not like the fact that they give you a nifty wristband when you check-in but it could only be used to access your room. I attempted to purchase coffee only to be told that only credit cards were accepted. I had to walk all the way back to my room to retrieve my card and walk all the way back to the coffee shop. It was not at all convenient. Everything else about our very brief stay was great. I was thinking that this was going to be like other resorts where your wristband was also an easy method of payment.

What I like the most is that it is very clean and the staff there is so friendly and aide you every step of the way. What is unique about this vacation spot is great view of the bay Beach just beautiful and the pool areas are outstanding and they got a coffee shop and bar in grill there right at your finger tips every thing you need and night entertainment on weekends and music every day of the week. Now what I did not like it do take front desk some time to answer the phone for service and there were a few things in my waterside king deluxe suite room that should have been addressed before I got there such as a few amenities that were not there to make my stay convenient such as being able to hang my clothes, to raise the bay area shade in the living room and to have a phone line in the room. I will say the the property manager was very understanding and made it right by me with accommodating me for the lost of the few things that were not there. So over all a awesome beautiful place to stay I rate it a 9.

We had a fabulous time at the resort. Someone mentioned in another review that the hotel doesn’t look like much from the highway but when you get inside it’s nice and I would agree with that assessment. The pools and the beach were amazing. We were greeted with welcome glasses of champagne which was an unexpected surprise. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff was nice and there were a few amenities we didn’t get a chance to experience like the bike rentals and the gym but just knowing those were available was exciting enough. We noticed a few loose bricks on the second floor walkway but that would be my only criticism. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend.
