We stayed here after our cruise so maybe our standards were a little high. Having said that, it was nice to have Valet parking for the same price as self park. Check in was easy and very accomodating as we got there a bit early. The hotel is nice and you can tell they try to keep it clean but... More

Stayed here because my in-laws are sweet and wanted to give us privacy. They booked this room for us and paid for it. They chose this place because they own a condo a few doors down and we wanted to be close to them. This stay started off well enough. The hotel itself is quite dated and walls are thin... More

Hotel is right on the beach which was exactly what I was looking for. Staff was excellent in every way. Great private beach, nice pool and lounging area if you want sun without the sand. Had breakfast and lunch there and the food was good. The prices at the tiki bar were a little high for what you got but... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location right on the beach and the pool. You're pretty much always able to get a chair at the pool. The cheap parking is a plus too. Don't plan on spending much time in the room if you stay here because the walls are paper thin. They say that the rooms have... More

I loved the design of this hotel as everything is on one floor. Although I didn't get to use the small but adequate fitness room or the restaurant with a very nice menu, it was good to know that they were there!

Great stay on the beach after cruise for one night; we were able to get room at 11am which was very nice. The beach chairs and umbrella cost 20 bucks per day, but the pool chairs are free; towels provided. A nice oceanfront hotel value choice.
