It was very quiet and not alot people. Very clean place. I didn't like that the dining area and bar was being worked on so it was close down. And i didnt like that I had to wait on the pool to open up at 930, when it opens up at 9 because the guy was cleaning it late but other then that i would come back here

Clean place that is right on the beach. Is it a 5 star hotel? No. Does it matter? Not at all. Right on the beach, all rooms face the water. Great place full of great and friendly staff! Will come back for sure!

Beautiful beach and great folding chairs provided made for a relaxing time in the sand. Very nice pool and hot tub was great! Rooms and beds are nice, comfortable. Could use a little nicer shower/bathroom set up particularly given the room rates.

We have stayed here several times, and it has always been pleasant. The property is older, but is under renovation currently so be prepared for that. We called in advance so we knew the restaurant was not open yet, but if you didnt know that it would be disappointing. The rooms are clean and comfortable, although the bathrooms BADLY need renovating. The space could be much better oriented for showering and such. The price is right and every room faces the ocean just a few steps from the beach so its a nice getaway for my mom and I. We will return and are looking forward to seeing further updates next time!

Was surprised by the hotel stating it is a Luxery site, before they do renovations. My room was dirty in areas, bathroom and balcony. AC had a flashing blue light that continued all night. AC blew straight over my head so I had to keep it off. Surprised to find that the restaurant and bar was not open. Check out states 11am. I had to go out for breakfast approx 8:30 and came back an hour later to find that I was locked out of my room. I had taken my bags to the car, but had my keeps and was going to try to rest before leaving out to drive 4 hours home. Not one free according to some people that stayed at the hotel so they stood out on the balcony smoking. I know this is hard to control, but it sure is hard on a person likee that has never smoked and has allergies, which includes cigg smoke. After not being able to sleep on an unusually hard bed with hard pillows - not Luxery at all, I did not sleep well and especially with this blue light on the ac unit flashing constantly. Over priced for sure for no more that what I got. Not a comfortable stay at all for trying to do a quick get away. I stayed here in the past and loved it. The owners may be working on a change, but you can't honestly jack up prices on promises for what you have promised in the future.

The hotel was nice. All rooms were oceanfront. There was a wall that was clearly visible that was under construction. It detracts from the overall appearance and aesthetic of the property.

I was very disappointed in the phone and internet connections. We couldn’t even make a call out. I want be staying here again because of this. The place itself is beautiful but without that connection it’s not worth it.
