Carlos (front desk) and Fred (A/C repair) were helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed. Everything including the beach was convenient. Parking was easy. Carts to help with luggage were available. This was a very enjoyable stay. Note: the breakfast buffet may seem eslightly xpensive, but it is a good deal compared to other places to eat in the area.

It was a nice hotel, however, it could have been a bit cleaner in our room and some of the sand catching rugs could’ve been swept more often. ( and I do get that it is a beach hotel)The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Really liked the hotel. Was disappointed that they closed the beach bar and restaurant early after I arrived at the hotel around 5:30, they closed before 7:00 with no reason. I needed up having to order delivery.

Great little place to stay, it’s oceanfront and every room has a view. Just plan on using some kind of bug repellent in the evenings when there is no breeze as the flys get really bad l. But other than that I will definitely stay again.
