I didn't get to stay here but went to this location to meet up with friends at the beach. Large parking lot. Big open courtyards and the restaurant looked very impressive.

What a beautiful hotel! I can’t wait to go back and stay longer. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a stunning ocean view from the second level. I’ve included a few photos and a short video below to show the view, it was absolutely breathtaking.
Everyone at the hotel was so friendly and helpful. From Sean, the doorman who kindly helped with our luggage, to Tyler at check-in who made the process seamless, and Maddie, our wonderful server at the restaurant. Each person made our stay even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and can’t wait to return!

I would recommend this hotel for families. There were a lot of activity rentals, pools, seating outdoors, and easybeach access. I felt let down by the front desk service though during check in and no one offered to help us with our luggage. They also upcharged the same items on the breakfast menu by 2 dollars on the lunch menu which is strange. Parking was also expensive. In general, other than the beach access, this place was nothing extraordinary.

I just had the most amazing customer experience with Vanessa, the manager and Anthony from the front desk. I’ve made a huge mistake and they help me reconcile it. We’ve stated at this property many times since they’ve upgraded. The service and elegance equals the value you pay. Thank you for the integrity in hospitality!
