Nice room renovations, comfy bed, great options for walking to shop for necessities very close by…used the bikes so often, and the beach access was terrific. I would totally stay here again. Loved that daily maid service swapped towels and new coffee/made bed, etc…hotel has a retro vibe which was cool.
Green space and nicely landscaped!
Fun games and very clean. Place was quiet despite many guests.
Bar and restaurant on the beach which is very rare here it seems.
Watch the sunrise with coffee everyday!

Everything was good except my daughter left her hoodie there and they say they don’t have it. We know they do. We are questioning if a staff member took it home. Not happy. It was an expensive purchase my daughter made herself.

Our family really enjoyed newly renovated room by the pool. Very clean and sheets were very nice, comfortable. Perfect location with lot of restaurants and food trucks nearby. It was beyond my expectations. We had drinks and meals at the Lava lava restaurant on the sand. Would highly recommend this place and we would come back to stay here again.

Everything was amazing. It was an adorable hotel, fantastic location, and right on the beach. The room was very clean. They didn’t have any more double beds when we got there, so they upgraded us to a room with a kitchen to make sure we got what we requested. Great customer service. We loved it there
