The staff were all very nice and sweet. Very nice views from the balconies. The pool area is very nice and the beach is right outside our door.. The only complaint I have is the rooms could have been a little cleaner, Im giving the benefit of the doubt there as they are in transition between owners. Other than that I love the place. We had to leave early due to a hurricane coming in. We decided on our own to leave and hadn't even though of a refund because we left on our own. They went out of they're way to make sure I had the info I needed to get the refund for the 3 days we wouldn't be there (We booked through booking.com so we had to go through them). It was really easy to do and I thought that was very cool of them. All in all I'd recommend it. I really enjoyed our stay.
Great laidback older hotel. Pool was perfect with newer nicer lounge chairs. Beach access and view from room top notch. Great for young children and families. Bring a small grill and have your steaks on the patio! That with adult beverages and the ocean it doesn't get any better. Hot tub and kiddie pool are nice to have as well.
