The property has been improving over the last several years since we have been staying there. Much cleaner and improve Tiki bar. Just didnt like not being able to get into our room until 5:30 pm when check in is 4. It is not the paying guest problem that 160 guest check out and 3 staff called out. Welcome to post covid.

Good for the price?

Loved the front door onto the beach. Beds were ok. Floor was marble and there were some roaches. People on the beach were a mix. Some nice, some loud and obnoxious with music late into the night, some smoked on the beach the whole time. Real mixed bag. Good for the price i suppose.

Gem by the beach

Room were clean and well maintained. looks like it was just renovated and painted, The views from the balcony was lovely. The fact that the beach was mere steps from my room gets an A+ from me. My kids enjoyed the pool. And the staff were friendly It lacked space to eat on a table for a family of 4 and the bathroom was small. I would go back for a solo trip. I would also recommend for a quick overnight stay or longer.

Location, location, location!

This place is all about the location. The views and proximity to the gulf were fantastic. The people were friendly and courteous. We appreciated the updates in the actual sleeping area. The bathrooms are in serious need of a remodel. Dirty dishes in cupboards in kitchen.
