I loved my visit here. I may be partial since I got married on the beach right outside the hotel. I honestly had NO issues. If I needed something, I got it. We did not use the wedding coordinator at the hotel as we hired an outside source, however, she was great! She offered to help if it was needed... More

I will not support a place that so openly supports an agenda, whatever it is, to the exclusion of others. I can't believe how... More

This hotel is something out of the 1960s. We checked in and checked right out. On the way to the room we got into the elevator that was horrid. It bounced and shaked and felt as if it was going to die on us before we reached our floor. I got out just before the doors closed and found another... More

...First and last! On the plus side, the staff was friendly, and the outside of the hotel is nice, but the rooms are ratty! I'd suggest the powers that be spend a little more $ on renovating the rooms, and less On the "Tiki Bar", and goofy looking slide in the swimming pool! More

And I don't usually leave negative reviews..I'm not too picky..as long as things are pretty clean and I feel safe. We stayed... More
