We love this place
We are returning after staying here a few years ago. The rooms have great beach views and are clean and comfortable. The property is located close enough to the airport that we walked to it. We would definitely consider staying here again

Good place for a night.
Room was not available early as noted but it was pleasant to have lunch and then read by the pool. Room is very nice with a lovely ocean view. Very convenient to the airport. Good at restaurant was fair. We are only here one night. Don’t think it would be good longer.

The hotel was understaffed so the few times we ate on the property took quite some time to get service.

Very pleased!
The rooms were clean and very comfortable! They have a refrigerator but no microwave in the room. The only complaint we had about the room was the smell coming from the sink drain. Otherwise, very nice and right on a gorgeous beach.

The room was exceptionally clean. However I was more wary of too many steps around the hotel. There was no light on one particular area where the steps were, and I almost fell off the steps. Other than that , I really like the hotel and restaurant.

The property was not like Expedia's description. Definitely needs updating. Staff were courteous but staffing was minimal. There are no elevators, so I wouldn't advise them for the handicapped or elderly. We had 2 electrical outlets that didn't work in our room and the hot water pressure was poor. It was ok for the money but won't stay again.
