Location and beach were perfect! Rooms were decent, comfortable beds. Breakfast was fine, but short on staff and out of clean plates 2 of the 3 mornings that we went to the buffet. Only 1 ice machine working while there. Both washing machines out of order and only 1 dryer that worked, that I could hear from my hotel room when running.

We loved everything about this resort. Our room was a King size suite with oceanfront balcony. The lazy river pool was large and very relaxing. The Tiki Bar offered great music and games and drinks. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with great hours from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. The hotel restaurant offered great American favorites and had a wing special one night. And last but not least the entire staff were great, all so friendly and helpful, especially Nicki on the front desk We are definitely going back.
