Shavaghn, our reservation assistant, was extremely helpful and assisted us in upgrading our room when we arrived. She went above and beyond to make us happy and feel like a valued guest. We had a terrific view of the pool and ocean and the breakfast was one of the best meals during our stay. We would definitely stay at this location if we ever come to visit again.

We were in room 358, very nice view of the ocean. Room was very clean, however.. the shower bar was rusted and I do mean rusted. It needs to be changed out and a new shower curtain. Outside of that everything was great. Oh, and the chicken wings in the hotel restaurant are very tasty 😋

Our family loved our stay at this location! Check in was a breeze, our room wasn’t ready but we were welcome to store our luggage and enjoy the property while we waited. Our keys were brought to us while we had a late lunch. Food was amazing. We spent plenty of time in the pools. We were welcome to enjoy the pool at the hotel next door as well! Room was large, hotel was quiet.

Beach view was amazing! Staff were great and helpful! Room was clean & beds were comfortable! Shower could of had better water pressure but that is my only complaint. Otherwise, the hotel had everything there on site. The pizza in the restaurant was very tasty! I liked having an indoor and an outdoor pool and the ping pong table in the pool room. They also had outdoor jenga and connect four for the kids to play. There is beach access on site as well so we didn't need to leave much. Would definitely come back and stay here again!
