The website photos look pristine, but the reality was disappointing. Outdoor and poolside furniture were stained and dirty, the indoor pool was dirty. The room had multiple issues—rusty lamp shades, stained mirrors, dirty vents, and worn carpet. The property needs a serious deep cleaning and upgrade inside and out. Highway construction makes access difficult as well. The only positive was the friendly front desk staff. Based on my stay, I would not recommend this hotel unless it undergoes a complete overhaul.

No issues, enjoyed it and hope to return!

We came here for a mini getaway to celebrate my son's birthday. So mostly came for the pool and such amenities.. the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Allowed us to swim while waiting for room to be ready(we got there before 2pm ) Plenty of parking. No issues with that. It did cost 15$ to park for one night. The hotel lobby was nice and clean. Our hallway was a bit run down. Dingy carpet and peeling wallpaper. There were several dogs we saw on our stay but they didn't bother us. Could smell them a little in our room from previous guest. Our room was a 2bed inland view with balcony and it was very nice. Felt safe and was well set up and equipped. We had comfortable beds and enjoyed our stay very much. The pool was very nice my son enjoyed a lot even with a lot of guests there. Still plenty of room to enjoy. Water was pretty hot tbh. Not super refreshing but it is August in FL ... Went to tiki bar and got some drinks. Wonderful service. Be advised online menu is different then menu they have - including different pricing (12$ online for chicken tenders,17$ actual price. ) etc. We went to beach super easy access to beautiful beach! And we were able to use the neighboring hotel pool as well which was bonus for my son at night -The pools are very similar however at night the hotel next door ( the Holiday inn) has movies playing on a projection screen for the kids while they swim which was super cool. Do note there is no in room dining but can order and pick up

A very nice hotel on a great area. there was a bit of road work across the street and I thought the hotel needs to be upgraded, however the view is fantastic, the pool nice and the beach espectacular. The staff pretty nice too but the wifi not so good, i hope they fix that soon. Was told an upgrade is on the works for early 2026. We would totally return.

The property was great so nice and clean, close to the beach. The breakfast was great, loved that it had food right there on the property. The only thing i didnt like is that the beach chairs were not included for as much as you pay to stay there.

Easy access to the beach. Wish they had a outside dog area since they’re dog friendly. Dogs are only allowed in the room if they’re not service dogs! The pool area needs more lights since they closed at 10 and it’s very dark. Needs better buffet options. The only options were eggs, bacon, potatoes and sausage for both days. At least have a waffle machine! Restroom exhaust fan not working. It got so humid after showers!

The resort was absolutely beautiful everyone there was so nice and friendly. The pool was so clean on the outside and the inside pool the ocean was fantastic. The suite was so clean. I couldn’t have asked for a better. The resort was just absolutely gorgeous and worth every penny that I spent there my experience was excellent the entire time.

The pool and location to the beach were excellent. The staff was nice. Shoutout to the staff member keeping the lobby floors clean. The rooms looked cheap and replacements need to be made to the sun shades (they were scuffed and stained). The lobby was clean, but there was food left over from a table that wasn’t cleaned up. The food made the entire lobby smell rotten. The food from the restaurant was nasty.The food was overpriced. Don’t order the pizza.
