Our Stay
Our stay at the hotel was lovely. The hotel is one block away from the beach and a less than 10 minute walk from the pier. The partial view rooms have a lovely view of the ocean. The pools are nice as well as the cabanas. The food is solid.

Birthday get away
Went to celebrate my daughter’s 12th birthday and we had a blast. Definitely would stay there again. The staff were amazing and customer service was great. Walking distance to pier and beach and of course a Starbucks. Only thing that I didn’t like was lack of restaurants around the hotel.

Room for improvement but great staff
Elevators kept going in and out of service, no coffee in room or in lobby (have to buy from their shop - $6 for a black coffee?). Inexplicably had a DJ blasting music middle of day by the pool. On the plus side great location and staff all extremely nice.

John was great he was the manager and he helped greatl. This I know is not your fault it’s the company’s. Your bathrooms are not conducent the way the height of the tubs are and the slick marble floors are very dangerous.
