My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon and it was amazing. When we first pulled up we were a little meh about it but the room was amazing, perfect view of the ocean, plenty of space, a working fireplace IN the room, comfy bed, bonfires around the property, plenty of benches and chairs to sit and watch the ocean, lots of places to walk and the staff was amazing. Pool was heated and the jacuzzi was wonderful. Gretchen at the restaurant was so sweet every time we went to breakfast and it was just a great couple days. We are already talking about coming back next year!

Relaxing getaway

My family & I travel quite often but this has been the best service we have ever received. The entire staff was so friendly and professional! This location is the meaning of relaxation. Very quiet and calm, food was great, weather was amazing, it was a nice break from a busy city.

Ocean Waves

I paid a high price for an ocean view, but they put us in a 1st floor room with trees that obscured the view. They let us move to another room … again on the 1st floor. There were a lot of dogs in this hotel… I did not know this was a dog hotel or I would have never picked it. The hotel is very run down, but on a positive note, all of the staff in the hotel and restaurant were very nice and accommodating.

Great property. My only complaint would be the extremely low toilets and the lack of a bar to pull yourself up off the toilet.
