Liked private beach, heated pool. Would have liked a better coffee pot. The one in room 513 needed to be cleaned or replaced. Also there was lots of hair accumulated in the indoor pool from other swimmers that stuck on hands while swimming. Liked veranda

This property is very dated. You will feel claustrophobic in the bathrooms due to extremely low ceilings. The bedroom is located in the front of the unit which makes for lots of noise from people walking by and cars in the parking deck. It is ocean front with indoor and outdoor pools and good beach access.

Bar and restaurant were open for brunch short staffed. King size bed mattress was hard and lumpy needs to be changed out. Rooms only cleaned upon request. The beach view was fantastic. It's the first week of June. Gotta drive in town to find a place to eat. Island closed down at 10 o'clock usually. I guess it was too early in June
