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 location was decent, but the beach was smaller than expected. Overall, it was a good stay but not without its frustrations.

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.

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.
