The room was great with lots of room. Breakfast options were fantastic. I have not been to a free breakfast that ever served biscuits, turkey sausage and sausage gravy. We hope to come back next year.

Most hotels, not all allow you to check in early if the room is ready. We arrived around 1 for a 4pm check in. We left our phone number and went out. We arrived again at 3:30 pm, still weren't ready. We were told that the rooms needed to have an inspection by the room manger, prior to release. I asked how 2 rooms on 2 separate floors would be done at the exact same time (4). We were given the rooms will be ready at 4, all the while 3 other people/families checked in. At 3:58 we were told the rooms were ready, I commented that it was early and was told I could wait the two minutes then.

Most the staff was just so welcoming and kind. The rooms were pretty clean there are a few spots with some wear though. More so minor things. Like the carpet had some areas along the wall pushed up onto wall and wall had some areas where the wallpaper or whatever they use was pushing out a little. Really more minor things. They do have a nice ramp and steps access to the beach. Nice little bench area at top of it too for looking out or getting some pics. Their breakfast buffet is pretty decent too. Actually had pretty good variety. Overall I think it's a pretty good place to stay.

The hotel location is great, right next to the beach. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was good, although some vegetables would have been nice to have (it was mostly eggs, pastries, cereals and dairy). The big problem was that some mornings there wasn't enough room to sit for all guests. The breakfast room is really small and unable to accommodate all guests. The indoor pool was nice, but it felt like it wasn't cleaned every day. The rinse-off area when coming from the beach, which is right under the pool, was not cleaned frequently. And it would be nice to have something in the rooms with no balcony to dry wet clothes or towels.

Stay was Great. Except for the 4 am wake up fire alarm and the room above had unleashed rug rats running and jump until 2 am. I know the fire alarm couldn't be help but acting like nothing happened sucked and for the hell kids we will always and forever book the highest floor.
