Absolutely lovely hotel. My family was very comfortable and loved the beach. The entire hotel and room was well taken care of, clean and new. They could use more staff at the Tiki bar during busy times as during busy times the staff was visibility overwhelmed. A great family vacation and we would definitely return.

the property is well maintained. Landscaping is beautiful. Rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable. Screened in balcony has 4 chairs and a table. Nice pool with umbrellas and good food at the tiki bar. They also set up beach loungers and umbrellas for guests every day on the beach for you! Room A/C worked great. Full size fridge and microwave. It could use a closet in the master bedroom as there are only 2 nightstands with 3 drawers each, but there was a closet in main room of suite that fit our hanging clothes. Restaurant Dante's on the property has excellent food for dinner. Be sure to try the wood oven pizzas & the tiramisu.
