Well worth the money!!’

I booked my stay before I read the reviews and when I started reading them I got nervous. I went o in expecting the worst. I stopped and bought all kinds of cleaning supplies and also got 2 sets of sheets and some new towels …complete waste of money!!! The room was very clean and no stains or wear on the sheets or towels. All of the dishes )service for 4) were clean and the bathroom was spotless. The only suggestion I would have for the room would be to add in a small table and chairs or at least a table. The pool was huge and very clean. But there is little to no lighting at night and that was a little concerning to me because there were a couple of children out there after dark. Other than that I enjoyed my stay and so did my friends. There isn’t daily housekeeping inside the room which is fine with me because I don’t like people going in with my stuff anyways but they did bring fresh towels daily and picked up the garbage if I set it out by the door. I went the week after Labor Day and it wasn’t crowded or loud at all and I will definitely be staying there when we go back next year!!!

We stayed on the lower level- able to walk right out of room to the beach. Room was very basic, but met all our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
