The location was excellent. The King Oceanfront room was large, comfortable and clean. We ate at the restaurant on site and it was excellent. The indoor pool was clean and heated. We would most definitely stay here again! So much to do in the area and this is a good home base.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property needed more attention to room cleanliness and the entirety of our stay we were without air conditioning on the top floor, it was stuffy and hot in the rooms and made sleeping comfortably difficult. Close to beach and restaurants and the weather was nice which made not being in the room for long periods of time possible.

Very spartan room which was fine as it had decent amenties. One small thing that would really help would be to fix the drapery on the window. It was hanging off the rod & made the room look terrible. Staff was friendly & efficient.

The breakfast we had the following morning at the Beachside Bistro was the best we’ve had in a long time. Our waiter was superb. Loved the decor! Our daughter,son-in-law and grandson loved the heated pool. We will definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Privacy was respected. However, I couldn’t change the thermostat temperature lower (I guess it was locked because it was winter) as I get hot easily. The pool was nice and I liked that it was heated, but there were no towels on the racks. I wish there were showers in the pool area. I couldn’t get in the fitness center initially as the lock was broken. I did not eat at the restaurant.
