It was a great place with lots of dinning options. The annoying part was loud music that blasted our speakers around the whole property from morning till at night wasn’t our type of music and was very loud made it very not peaceful laying by the pool or the waterfall.

Loved being right on the beach. Very quiet and relaxing. It’s off season so the resort had few guest. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony each evening and listening to the live band. The only thing i gave 4 stars is the cleanliness. The room was good but the hallways and foyers really needed to be vacuumed. The lobby and restaurant were clean.

Loved the location of the property... On the ocean with ocean view. Property location is toward the end of the hotel strip so the beaches were not jammed packed. Loved the hotel staff and dining experience. Loved the entire experience.

We visited in February. The room was clean, we stayed in a pool view room. Heated pool and hot tub were awesome. Staff was very nice. Nowhere on the website says that all the bars and restaurants were closed for the season. We expected multiple options. The main bar/restaurant up front was open, and the beach bar was open.

Beautiful place and would return, but very upset we weren’t informed that half of the restaurants in the hotel were closed, the swim up bar was closed and this was the main reason we chose this location. Super disappointed!
