"I loved it here. I felt like they could improve on their staff for the beach. They should wash the furniture at the end of every day to make sure itโ€™s clean for the next days people. I also think that they should make sure that they accommodate their hotel guests to sit outside for dinner on the patio and make that a priority not just people that come in for reservations the staff by the beach that helps you set up. Your furniture does not seem real organized."

"I was greeted in the office and it was a quick check-in to get my room key. Staff was friendly. My room was clean. There was a small refrigerator for me to use. I setup my computer on the desk space and was able to work from my room. Plenty of daylight and you could open the windows for a breeze of fresh air. The shades were blackout so you could get a good nights rest. Great shower, spacious bathroom. The ocean view was amazing, as were the adorable hummingbirds that played in the palm trees right outside my balcony. Loved the balcony. I didnโ€™t use the pool but it was very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs surrounding it to use. Parking was available. Location was walkable to grocer, etc. and to public beach accessโ€” so you can see and do plenty without a car."
