What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Modern

I recently stayed in a newly remodeled room that was incredibly spacious, featuring two comfy queen beds with crisp white linens. The bathroom was really good, complete with a stylish stand-up glass shower and an overhead rain showerhead, making for a very pleasant experience. The view of the bay from my room was simply amazing! I highly recommend this room for comfort and aesthetics.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at the hotel was a good surprise! There was a wide variety of options including fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. For just $10, it exceeded my expectations. The breakfast attendant was attentive and kept everything well stocked. I appreciated the convenience of dining right within the premises before heading out for the day.

Relaxing Pool Area

One of my favorite features was the indoor pool and hot tub area, which was well-maintained and wonderfully warm. After a day of exploring, it was the perfect way to unwind. The hot tub was spacious, allowing me to relax and soak my troubles away comfortably. It felt like a mini spa experience right at the resort.

Comfortable and Cozy

The bedroom was very inviting! It had a great ambiance with soft, cozy bedding that made it easy to relax after a long day. The furnishings were modern and clean, adding to the overall experience. I loved how quiet the area was at night, allowing for a peaceful night’s sleep. A room like this is perfect for a getaway.

We had an incredible experience at the hotel! The staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate our wedding, making it everything we dreamed it would be. The event space and accommodations were perfect for our needs. However, we did notice that the breakfast options were lacking, which could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with lovely amenities and memorable service.

We had a mixed experience at the hotel. While we loved the beautiful view and the cleanliness of the room, we were disappointed with some of the service aspects and the dining options.

The hotel has a great location right on the beach with beautiful water views, making it perfect for enjoying the sunset. However, the rooms could use some updating, and while the dining options are decent, the experience left something to be desired. The service was adequate but lacked a warm touch that could enhance the overall stay.

Rooms

Our room was on the first floor and had a musty smell, and although it was clean, the sheets felt damp. The third-floor room my daughter stayed in was fine. The beachfront view from our room was wonderful, though.

Service

The service was okay, but there was a distinct lack of hospitality during check-in and check-out. It didn't ruin our stay, but a little extra warmth would have made a difference.

While the restaurant on-site was convenient for drinks and snacks, the Happy Hour prices were the highlight. The breakfast was also reasonably priced but nothing special.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, especially with the beautiful water view from our room and the family-friendly environment. The service was quick and efficient, making our check-in a breeze. However, I was disappointed with my reservation mishap, which really put a damper on our arrival. Additionally, the beach was smaller than expected due to high water, which limited our seaside experience. Overall, it was a decent trip with some highs and lows.
