Being on the beach is a perk. The view from our room was awesome. The lobby area was good but They should have the inside bar open at night. The outside bar is good as long as weather is good. Some areas could be upgraded which I believe they are working on. Loved that they have bikes to use. It may matter to some that the lobby is across the street from the building on the beach. It was odd in the morning to go across the street for coffee but if I were to go back I would pick the same building

Little rough but nice resort
The room we were in was very clean, the bed was rock hard and we woke up every day sore but with lots of stretching found relief. Remember when booking this is a pet friendly resort. Loved seeing all the dogs as I am a dog lover. The problem was the room next door had a dog that barked at night, most of the night and early morning. Addressed it after night 1 but nothing was done and when checking out was told I should of said something (which I did). Overall the resort is nice and quiet

Nice
Nice place, no complaints. It is a ‘hippy’ vibe and decor, Walking distance to main town square. Beach access is close. Pool is clean and heated-very nice. Beach and poolside service is attentive. Dissatisfied with extra parking fees added on top of room fees AND resort fees.

The room was okay in that it was right next to the beach. But there was no safe and no closet which we weren’t happy about. Staff were very good apart from that
