The unit was in a great location. Staff could have done more to pick up trash around the pool area and walkway to the beach. Also, the facility ran out of olive juice for martinis as well as a couple of other things which was disappointing.

Like other reviewers have mentioned this “resort” could use a serious remodel. The amenities are subpar, the furnishings look like something you would find at a Goodwill and the water smells like sulfur. It is basically a overpriced Motel 6 with a spectacular view. The staff (especially Rachel) are very kind and accommodating.

I want to be clear why this gets a terrible rating from me. I have stayed before and it is a lovely stay. However DO NOT book with Expedia, I cancelled in appropriate window, only to be told I didn't cancel, then called resort to confirm there was no reservation for me, and then day of they still had me booked! They charged me $379 for one night that I never stayed. SO frustrating. Neither Expedia or Resort could help me and again, I did cancel in appropriate window.

This was our third time staying here. This place has gone downhill. It is dirty, the front desk staff are very rude, the rooms are in bad shape and not well stocked. The common areas are not air conditioned. On our fifth and final night there was a fire alarm at 1 am. Everyone was evacuated. After 1 hour outside we were let back in. Turns out the sprinkler system failed in the room right over ours. IT was coming through the roof in the bedroom makinf the room unlivable. We got a room to sleep in and asked management not to do anything with the other room since our belongings were in there. The room they put us in was equally as bad, the bed was a shambles and fell apart as we laid on it. The next morning we went back to our room to pack. We found the door propped open, and several fans placed around to dry it out. Of course it was still leaking from above so it would never dry out. But the worst was, all our stuff was in the room and the room was wide open. Anyone could have come in stole our stuff. Terrible experience. Stay away from this place as every room is privately owned and the management company doesn't care about anything since its not their rooms.

The suites are spacious and have good kitchenettes. Great view of the ocean and it is nice to be at the end of the island. The marsh on the other side of the hotel is a great place to explore. The beach is great but the pool is abit small.
