Great hotel, isolated and not walking distance to anything but the boardwalk. Restaurant was great. Staff at hotel and restaurant were so friendly. The pool- smallest I’ve ever seen. We thought the photos were deceiving but they call it a spa tub for a reason as that’s exactly what it is. Great for adults- not so great for kids!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room is very comfortable, featuring plenty of chairs for relaxing or reading. However, it lacks sufficient lighting. I appreciate the HDMI connection located below the TV, as it provides easy access without needing to reach behind the television to connect to a port. The service and food are excellent, but better measures are needed to control the flies around the windows next to the tables.

3.5 stars…Our stay was okay, the room is decent but it could be cleaner. Some areas were so dusty, like beside the microwave and other surface areas. I wish there was an area to get coffee by the lounge but nothing much happening in the lobby. The view was beautiful though.
