The room wasn’t ready at the time giving. The Room was ready at 1 hour and a half later than the time giving. The room was dirty and next morning when I woke up I found a bottle of water under the bed meaning that the Room wasn’t clean properly.

had a partial water view on 5th floor-perfect room was neat and clean-only had office like chair in room- would suggest a comfy chair in the room, the restaurant attached was okay. but all in all- perfect stay if you want to relax and not go all over and search for parking. Everything was in walking distance this place has poor, tiki bar, music, restaurant- , water, sand, chairs, umbrella- what else do you need?

I liked the beach and pool. Overall, the property was clean and well kept. However, several things in my room were not operational. The television and the phone. I reported both, neither were fixed during my stay (4 days). I also did not like that security told me I was not allowed outside food or beverages while at the beach. Everything HAD to be purchased at the restaurant/bar. I was purchasing many items, but I have a small child and goldfish crackers were not on the menu. I had paid for chairs, an umbrella, the hotel room, many drinks and several meals. If I want a snack, I should be "allowed" to have a snack.

Wouldn’t recommend. From the confusing parking, didn’t get the bed size requested. Had to pay for beach chairs?? Too many extra fees. Needed more dressers. They had plenty of space to put them. Only two draws in our room…Will not stay here for the price..

This was a nice little boutique hotel with a private beach. We enjoyed being close to restaurant options and the water. We rented two chairs and an umbrella for the day and used them from 11 am to 9 pm. The server from the bar checked on us several times to be sure we had everything we needed. The room was big and very bright. Would highly recommend.

Great location, unclean property

Great location, nice private beach area, plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, and beach towels. The inside of the hotel however was lacking. It was not clean, there was a huge pile of hair in our room when we walked in, the walls were dirty, the carpets in the hallways were filthy. Again, the location is great but due to the lack of cleanliness we would not stay here again.
