The staff were amazing. My original reservation did not meet my expectations and they were accommodating, allowing me to upgrade to an oceanfront suite which exceeded expectations. The location is great. Many things are within walking distance. I utilized the salon twice during my stay, they were just as wonderful. I originally stayed as part of a big group and the last few days as a solo traveler. Overall, extremely happy with my stay, I would stay here again.

This hotel was good but the photos did not match. The walls are popcorn walls and the floor is old tiles. It’s a clean place though. I didn’t like the part when at the pool we cannot bring our own water, coffee or drinks. We had to buy something from the pool to to drink anything. The staff were nice
