Great place to have a mini vaca with all the amenities offered on location, easy access to bar, pool, across the street to the beach, restaurant on site and others close by.

We enjoyed the area and the staff were fantastic. The only thing I didn’t like was no carpet on the floor in room was ok, but, walking barefoot your feet were filthy black. Perhaps change flooring to something else that would not be so dirty.

There was an ice machine right outside our room (206)that had a bad motor. So every time it kicked on it was extremely loud with a very high pitch whining sound. It sounded like an industrial shop vac. Needles to say, we got NO SLEEP. I complained but nothing was done to compensate us for our stay. And it wasn't like it was a super busy weekend. It was raining and over cast. Plus it was mother's Day weekend. We won't be back.
