Nice Stay

"Our stay was pleasant overall. The staff was very courteous, and the property was clean and well maintained. However, at check-in, we were informed that maid service was available every other day, but we did not receive it. We also couldn't get fresh linens until the end of our stay, which meant we had to wash and reuse them ourselves. Aside from this issue, everything else met our expectations." We would definitely stay here again.

The location was good. Access to the beach. Walking distance to a couple restaurants, shops, and bars. The hotel cleanliness was a little questionable. There were stains all over the box spring cover on the beds. Overall, an average stay.

Bait N Switch

They show you a Hotel on the beach...But when you book a room you get the MOTEL across the street. The pillows were 3 different colors ( 2 white,1 Yellow and 1 brown) hair dryer busted. Guys walking past your room smoking weed trying to look in your window. The MGR wants to yell and argue from 10ft away. When I tried to explain this isnt what I booked. "Show me your email" Was all she kept repeating. When I pulled up my email, it showed the HOTEL on the beach...but in small letters on confirmation. ( hence AFTER YOU BOOKED IT) It says no beach view...not ACROSS the street. VERY DECEPTIVE...NOT HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY B-DAY VACA. Now I see they charged my card $15. This otta be interesting to see what I am getting ripped off for...

Good Overall

Although our room was clean and quite spacious, this resort is in need of a makeover. I was pleasantly surprised that all rooms are beachfront. However, this property is lacking amenities and service. I feel there is much potential, as its location, pool area, and pristine beach are great features on which to build a first class hotel.
