The property is amazing! Everything is in the details. It’s super clean, peaceful, the pool is awesome, view is great, decor is INCREDIBLE, loved the record player and LPs in the room. Love the movies, the taffy in the jars, the staff are so sweet, positive and lovely. The food is also really great. The only thing is check in is at 4pm which is a little late IMO.

6/10

Hard to write a review of this property, the staff were genuinely lovely and extremely helpful, however the first night we were allocated a room to the front of the hotel, and due to noise we didn’t sleep at all. They gracefully allowed us to move when we raised the issue and the second room was much better. The rooms are a little tired. Furniture is a Laraine’s and walls need a re-paint, but they also have a lovely charm. Good location and beautiful beach. Having to pay a gratuity on the free breakfast everyday was a bit of a sting. Along with being charged the full resort fee despite the swimming pool not being operational when we stayed.
Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025

We had a great time. The staff and amenities were wonderful, even with restrictions due to Covid-19. I can't wait to go back when the restrictions have lifted, especially to try the restaurant that I have only heard great things about.
