"Very short and easy walk to the airport. They don't even have free coffee. I asked for just coffee in the morning, and the guy at the desk said he would make it for me, then charged me for it. Don't nickel and dime the clients. Raise the price of the room and include breakfast - or at least coffee!"

"Enjoyed first visit so much that I booked a second. Easy walk to beach, boardwalk restaurants and to marina. Golf concierge is great as are the other staff. Pools are well maintained and big enough for a proper swim with four to choose from. Grounds are immaculate. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in a hotel. In school holidays I anticipate it may be busy as it has a lot to offer families with children. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Toiletries are good quality."
