It is difficult to truly review the property because we were only there after dinner until 5:00 am due to early flight. Great Location,easy check in, pleasant staff, and well equipped. I had a problem with bumping into the bed corners because they stick out well beyond the mattress. Other than that, nothing to notify you of.

Pros: centrally located to most everything around you. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Housekeeping always made sure our bed was made and we had fresh towels each day. Cons: it wasn’t very clean (dirt and dust). The shower didn’t drain well so you were in standing water. The water pressure was very low and the water temperature was almost always lukewarm. Would I stay again? Absolutely because the positives outweigh the negatives!

Extremely comfortable beds/pillows and clean pool. We had an overwhelming smell of bleach when we first arrived in the room, but we cranked up the air and circulated it out. I would rather know the room is clean and deal with a smell, so it wasn't a big deal.

The resort was quaint but a little outdated. At first I thought I would stay here again because of its quaintness, But the housekeeping was very lax. 2 of the 4 nights we stayed there wasn't any sign of the room being made up... didn't receive clean towels or the bed made.

It was a nice room but the common areas should be modernized like the rooms. Nice temperature in the room, not noisy, and nice pool. Close to Lido Beach, some restaurants, and convenient stores as CVS, Walmart and Dollar Store.

It was fine, but I’m not sure why they call a resort. It’s a step above a motel.
