From the moment we pulled up to the front of the report everyone was so nice. Even checking in we were taken back by how nice and welcoming everyone was. The stay was very enjoyable, and as always wish we could’ve stayed longer. Will definitely come back to this location in the future.

"Nice place but lots of add on costs that did not seem justified."
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 03, 2026 NEW
The hotel is very nice and the pool is great! The rooms are comfortable and the water pressure in our shower was crazy! No low flow here. The parking is a bit ridiculous in price, you are not in a city!! The resort fee is another add on, which only gave you access to the pool for all I could tell. There were not any other tennis courts or other things that I saw. The pool is nice but not "resort fee" nice in my opinion. The staff were attentive and very helpful when we interacted with them. The restaurant had good food, but our particular server was not the best. There were others that were taking good care of their tables, so I think it was a one guy thing... vacation prices for everything. The beach is across the highway and it is more of a surf beach not really a hang out type beach but it was nice for sunsets and a little walking on the beach. I would stay here again maybe... If I were down this way again.
