Great location within walking distance of plenty of shopping, bars and eateries. The on-site restaurant has great food and drinks. Staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean, but in need of an update as the resort itself is in need of a face-lift which seems to be in the process of starting.

Great views and sunsets
The views are the best, with amazing sunsets! The staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms need some upgrades and it smelled of mildew the entire time we were there, which was very unpleasant. We had to buy a candle to help mask the smell.

They closed the pool shortly after 6:00 PM. The reason was due to there’s no lights around the pool. We have an ocean front pool and they closed it at 6:00. I can’t recall any pool that closed at 6:00. It was still light out. Sun didn’t even fully set. And there’s this thing called lights to light up the area around the pool. Several guests were not happy. Won’t be back here because of this which is sad because it’s a great location.
