I selected this property because of the huge ocean deck, tikibar, and well-decorated room. I love the convenience of having somewhere for the kids to eat without me having to deal with that on vacation, my kids are teenagers so they eat non-stop. I also love that you can access the beach in minutes, right from the pool deck, as well as enjoy the view while in your room, or having a cocktail pool side. We were very pleased with our room, very clean, and up to date, however the hotel is another story. It is very old, out of date and needs some serious attention. The halls are dark and gloomy, not clean at all. The lobby seemed to be well kept, but out dated as well. There was an issue checking in, however I think this was my fault for not having the correct information and the front desk was absolutely NO help. Once they discover you are there through VRBO they want nothing to do with you. It's border-line disrespectful. I brought many supplies from home but didn't think about zip-lock bags and asked the front desk one day for a small bag for ice (to take in our cooler to the beach), they asked my room number and they said, "We don't supply anything to VRBO guest", I told them I understood that but could I please just have one small bag and I would purchase some myself later, they refused.
I would MOST definitely stay at this location again, Ana was wonderful to work with and the room was perfect. Many kitchen supplies, I cooked several times in the room and had everything I needed. We loved the pool deck, as stated before, and the food and drinks at the bar were good.
Just be aware that the staff at the hotel will give you a feeling of being "un-welcome", however we didn't let it bother us and would definitely put up with them again to stay here.
We actually went for 9 days and decided to stay two more!!
Wonderful vacation and have already started talking about next year, as we didn't get to do some things because of COVID 19 (EX: Universal Studios)
