I made a big mistake "booking" this hotel. 1st of all, it is no "resort" as it calls itself. 2 sets of towels for the weekend. 1 bar of soap and shampoo. They charged me $100 for a "mini bar" which included 2 sodas,2 beers, and 4 shots (which were probably stolen from an airplane. I was refunded the $100 after leaving. Pool was closed and beach chairs were locked down.

Well to start off the room did not even look clean all glass and window surfaces were cleaned with something that made them look very bad. The sheets on the beds looked dirty and the comforter was also stained. The location of the property is prime. They just need time and some elbow grease to get the place updated and would be happening spot. But as of now ill just say it was DIRTY

I would do it different
This place is highly overpriced and the pictures online depict something that it is not. Run down, old, moldy, I could go on. Yes, it’s on the beach and in good walking distance to the basic area.

Moldy, dirty, ceiling wet and coming down, horrible beds, dirty bedding. Had to leave early because of the mold and I couldn’t breathe - ended up staying the night in my car. They did not give me any compensation for having to cancel the rest of my trip due to to their moldy motel. VERY disappointed!!

Walked in after check in and the floor was covered in sand. Not sure when was the last time the room was dusted off but it was not clean. I had to borrow the house keeper cleaning supplies to clean the room myself and feel somewhat comfortable. Staff and surrounding area were really nice . No complaints on that part !

for the price i was very disapointed, there were stains on the curtains, walls, ceiling tiles and the fan in the room was so noisy it made it hard to sleep. I did like the location and the view from our room, but it seemed like i was staying in a 3rd rate motel.

Hard time finding parking, staff not the friendliest. When mentioned of kids above us and noise, was told don’t worry they check out tomorrow. Provide 1 pillow per person and they were very flat, was told they don’t provide anymore than that. All outlets on opposite side of room so unable to use my Cpap machine

Beds are extremely uncomfortable. Room smelled really bad like must it made my throat hurt. Found 2 spiders in the room and another dead bug. Lighting is very dim. The sink was dirty, there was hair under the pillow so I don’t think the bedding was washed. There were holes in the wall and door where it looked like it was rotting.
