Perfect for partiers. A nightmare for families.
The location is genuinely good for the price — ocean views from the front, and my kids loved the pool (it's 8 feet deep, which you don't often see). At the price I paid I expected dated. What I didn't expect was to call the police at 3:50 a.m. Let me explain how this place actually works: there's no front desk check in. You find a lockbox, sort through roughly 18 keys to find yours, and let yourself in. No one verifies who's a guest. No one monitors the property. If that sounds like your kind of setup, read no further. This is your spot.
For everyone else: our room faced the pool and the stairwell. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was a gathering place for teenagers and young adults looking to party, and absolutely nothing was stopping them. Yelling, fighting, sprinting to cars, music, drinking, pool at full capacity. All of it, all night. At 3:45 a.m. there were still 15 people in the pool with music pumping. My 9 year old twins did not sleep. I did not sleep.
One of our room keys stopped working sometime in the night. There was no staff to call, no one on site, no solution. We had a second key. If we hadn't, I genuinely don't know what we would have done.
If you want a cheap beachside spot with zero oversight and a crowd that knows how to keep a party going until dawn, this is exactly that and it delivers. But if you're traveling with children, or simply need to sleep, skip it entirely.
