We did not use the pools but they appeared clean and others were using. The hot tub was not usable but we wouldn’t have used it. The view was great and a short walk to the beach. Overall it was a good stay and we would stay here again.

Location is wonderful. Ocean view was beautiful from our balcony with an easy walk out to the beach. Pool is great but closes too early. Would be nice to hang out by the pool at night, especially if the bar was open later. Our room was conveniently located and easy to access. Ample parking. Only major negative was the smell of cigarette smoke every time we went out on our balcony and walking to our car.

The breakfast was just enough- not a complete hot breakfast but still had lots of options for just about anyone! The rooms are right on the beach and the walk to the beach is easy! Also the bar on site is amazing! Tim, the bartender, was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend! We will stay here again
