The only oceanfront rooms they have are for families and have bunks beds. Not for couples.

Exceptional experience! We stayed overnight for new Year's eve/day and we're incredibly pleased with the staff, the cleanliness of the location, the size of our room, and the breakfast buffet. Not to mention the absolutely beautiful view of the Gulf right out of the balcony window. Thank you for the wonderful stay, we'll be sure to come back in the summer!

Solid hotel. Location is great. Tracy Ann in the breakfast area is awesome. She needs a raise. That breakfast was on point.
Only complaint is the lazy river pool isn’t heated, but we came late December so that’s on us. :) hot tub is hot and open till midnight.
We will definitely be back
