Disliked: Staff & service
The staff and check in were rude, kept us waiting in the lobby for hours, we were checked in and were not told we had to check in again after four. The burner on the stove were covered in foil and not laying flat and we were scared to use it. Otherwise pool, hot tub and other things were good. My daughter sprained her ankle on the way to the airport and asked for ice to put on it and they gave her a coffee cup of ice and told her to buy a bag of ice if she needed more with no place to keep it ?? We were all handicapped…no consideration ! We will look for another place next time.

Love the location...it's away from the busyness of the main strip. It's close to Pier Park. The beach and pool were not crowded. The room was great with a great view of the beach.

The stay was wonderful, with excellent rooms and a fantastic view. I was surprised to see an internet fee on my bill, as I believed it was complimentary. Additionally, my husband incurred a $20 charge for an unspecified reason. He checked us in and used his credit card for the room payment, but they charged the card used for the reservation instead of his, despite him informing the front desk to use the card he swiped.
