Beautiful location minutes from the beach. The man at the front desk was nice and helpful during our stay. The doors were a little hard to use entering our rooms but we eventually figured out to turn them upwards ;) We upgraded to the jetted tub rooms and it was absolutely amazing! Much needed after all the walking we did in this gorgeous area. Breakfast was okay definitely better than nothing especially when there’s hot protein offered like bacon and sausages. Room was very clean and housekeeping was amazing during our 7 day stay.

I’ve stayed here multiple times and I keep coming back. The staff always goes above and beyond, and the continental breakfast is excellent, not to mention the freshly baked cookies and fresh coffee throughout the day. I highly recommend this place especially for the price point.
