10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was amazing. I definitely plan to return. My only minor issue was that housekeeping inquired about our checkout progress with 40 minutes left. We were already packing and preparing to leave, but it did make us feel a little rushed at the end.

Anniversary Beach Getaway

Front desk staff was very nice, got a free upgrade & welcome gift since it was our Anniversary. Very convenient location, could see the beach from our balcony. Love the jetted big bathtub and comfy bed. We have stayed here 4 or 5 times & it's a favorite :)
