A lot of little things add up to not feeling like you’re at a resort, even simple things like the music by the pool has more ads than music…
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025

6/10

For the price, I would have expected much more. One pool, construction. Extra charge to rent bikes. No tennis/pickle ball courts. It’s a decent 3 star resort, but priced like a 5 star.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025

6/10

We traveled across the country to take our kids to the beach. We had the worse view in the resort, and it smelled like food the entire time. No way someone should be charged several thousand dollars for the weekend for this. This room should be discounted for no more than $100/night.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2025

On my Expedia app it didn't state the construction that was happening. Wish i knew ahead but everything else was great! Love most of the staff especially Charles!!
