This place is a 10 out of 10 on the beach! The views are gorgeous and you have direct beach access with fluffy soft sand just steps from your room. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable and include everything that you need. The on-site restaurant is delicious and there is a huge pool, big hot tub and games scattered around the property including a bocce ball court where you can have fun, relax and hear the ocean. And then if that wasn't enough, the staff was top notch! From the moment we pulled up until we drove away, everyone we came in contact with was polite, friendly, and so helpful. This is our favorite hotel on the beach and always have the best time while staying there.

Resort was very nice. The staff was very friendly. Beach access was great. The beach was spotless. Water was crystal clear and it was a wonderful experience. The room had very nice amenities. The only reason for a four star review and not five was the bed was not very comfortable maybe time to change out the mattress, and one of the sofa pillows were quite saturated with dog urine as it was a pet friendly resort other than that overall fantastic stay.
