The staff and amenities were exceptionally great! Our family had a blast bringing in the new year here. Though for the price i did expect the rooms to be more updated and cleaner. The carpet floors felt dirty. The ceiling had water damage around the light fixtures and they smelled musky. Would love to return in the future to enjoy the pools, beach, and tiki bar but hope for a better room.
The floors of the room weren't cleaned between guests. When we got there the floor was greasy from spray sunblock and covered in sand. We wore our shoes inside the whole time.
Check in is at 5 and check out is at 10. A 5 o'clock check in is crazy.
It was pretty clean, no issues there. Pretty quiet since it was off-season. Some of the rooms are kind of small with those big king beds. Right on the beach was definitely a plus! Coin laundry room on site. I would come back with a group in better weather but i image the traffic is horrendous during warmer months.
Me and my husband traveled from Wisconsin.
It was a bit rough. We entered our first room we both looked around and it was dirty. Carpet didn’t look vacuumed and pee stains all over toilet. Then we decided to inspect a bit more. There was dot stains on the corners of the bed sheets and bedding (possibly signs of bedbugs). We didn’t see any thank goodness. We knew that was possibility for cockroaches due to the type of weather. We did see a lot of baby ones and eggs around. We decided to talk with the front desk to report this problem. They were very nice about the situation and took it into consideration. We got a new room, it was a lot cleaner and fresher feeling. We look around the new one as well everything was perfectly fine. Overall definitely look over your room before you sleep. Scenery was amazing, pool was great! All together with everything happening I give it a 5/10.
Kids enjoyed the heated pools and jazzy river. Beds are comfy, room is clean. Have been going for decades and will return

Loved staying here, we went the week before thanksgiving. The resort was basically empty. Which was great. Super easy access to the beach and we had a ground level room which I dnt recommend only because people were walking around and looking into the room. We did see like three roaches halfway through our stay. Other than that lived staying here.

Hotel was nice, staff was friendly but there is an obscene amount of stray cats there on the property. From kittens to big cats. They take over the grilling area, playground and volleyball court. They use the sand as a litter box. If it wasn’t for the cats I would give this property a 10/10.
