location was excellent, the hotel is dated but they do maintain it. staff made the vacation excellent. indoor pool was closed for the day we got there for repairs but opened up for the remainder of the stay. the tiki bar at the pool never opened, and the bathrooms at the pool could have been maintained better since the pool was crowded every day. would definitely stay there again!

Stayed 3 nights. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great location for beach and boardwalk. Outdoor pool was nice. Indoor pool is very small but there was no need for it so it wasn’t a big deal to us. We had an ocean front room which was pretty clean. The only issue we had is that the hotel advertises free beach chairs, we called to confirm and then we got there without beach chairs and they are no longer doing free beach chair rentals - be sure to bring your own. Overall, we had a great stay.

Everything was great excecpt for the neighbors. There were a lot of kids and they were up at the crack of dawn screaming and banging and running through the halls. They were out on the balcony banging on the rails and no one disciplines them. Oher than that everything was great. The Bai tee restaurant downstairs was amazing expecially Julia.

The room still had mess from the previous person- food crumbs in the cabinets, trash on the floor in the kitchen, dirty dishes, and most damning a paw print on the side of the sheets of a bed. We stayed in the Cabana building and it was a nice and spacious room, but the internet never worked even when we asked for help. It's on the boardwalk so getting to the beach and fun stuff is very easy. It was overall fine, but once I saw the state of the kitchenette I became disinterested in using it.

Staff was great, we arrived in the area early and were allowed to check in, front desk was extremely friendly. This was a spacious and clean room. The view was better than described almost a full view of the ocean. The only slight complaint is that the bathroom in this room was tight but overall and 9 outta 10 and I would def recommend. And we didnt eat a whole meal in the resteruant but did get pasties and they were delicious!
