We had so much fun and the location was great. The front desk was amazing when we checked in. Being able to go between the pool at the hotel and the pool next door depending on which kid activity was going on at each kept our little one entertained all day. Will be back for sure.

We had a fantastic time at this family-friendly hotel. The beach access felt like a resort , and my son absolutely loved the lazy river. The breakfast was generous, making it a great choice for our stay. Plus, we were conveniently located about 6 minutes away from the crab island tours.

Everything is really good all the staff were very nice. The room was nice and clean looks like it had been recently updated. The only negative was the housekeeping the first day I told them we didn't need it we just needed some towels. Then the second day they hadn't even been there and it was 3:00. So basically we didn't get housekeeping the whole week we were there they either came too late or they didn't show up

The front desk staff is very welcoming and helpful with check-in, local restaurants, and hotel amenities. We especially appreciate both Pebble and Kyla for their amazing service. We had an AC problem in our room that was addressed immediately by maintenance. The pool is fun and the Tiki Bar handled all our refreshment needs.We love this beachfront hotel!
