Nice stay, nice employees. The only thing I would suggest is a keto friendly/diabetic friendly breakfast option. you have everything there, just take out the carbs and juice and fruit. Maybe just boiled eggs, and plain full fat greek yogurt. with a water.

I was unimpressed by the continental breakfast. It was delivered to the room which was nice, but it was not fresh and was all pre-packaged. Also, the room coffee was not good. But otherwise, a wonderful place to stay on the beach! The views and the sun, sand and water were gorgeous!

The property was clean with great staff. Our only complaint was the loud air conditioner in our room, which interfered with getting a good nights sleep.

Great view!

First off, they offered rooms with two KING beds which is amazing when your man-sized teenagers have to share a bed! Everything was clean, staff were all very friendly, and the water view from the 4th (top) floor was amazing. The resort does have activities daily, though we were in town to visit family so didn't participate. The beach is lovely, we sat out there one evening to read and watch the sunset. I would recommend!

Wonderful being right on the beach and having a balcony view. The room was decent but starting to show some wear in the shower area but overall it was nice. It was close to downtown, casino, and Meijer’s.
