I had a great time at this resort! The beach access was fantastic and the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, my dining experience could have been better, as the restaurant did not meet my expectations. Overall, the beds were comfortable, and the pool area was enjoyable, making it a good value for a beach getaway.

My stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall. I loved how clean everything was and the pool area was enjoyable. However, the restaurant experience fell short with slow service and some disappointing meal options. While the location provides easy beach access, the room I had could use some updates to feel more modern.

My experience at the resort was quite a mix. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the beach access is fantastic, making it perfect for relaxation. The rooms, however, feel a bit outdated and there are ongoing noise issues due to housekeeping. While the staff tried to accommodate us with a room change, the dining options left a lot to be desired and service was hit or miss. Overall, I enjoyed my time, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at this motel which has made some thoughtful updates. The location was fantastic, right on the beach, with easy access to bike paths and local dining. The rooms were clean, though a bit small and dated, but comfortable enough. While there were plenty of amenities like a nice pool and Tiki bar, the walls were a bit thin, and some services felt limited. Overall, it’s a good value for money, especially with the beautiful beach access.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The location is just perfect — right by the beach and a short stroll to the pool area. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the hospitality was top-notch. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but overall it was a nice trip. While I enjoyed most of my stay, I felt the bar service could use some improvement in consistency.
