The room wasn’t properly cleaned when we checked in, the next morning was an early wake up call by a baby’s nonstop cries and screams. There was sand all over the floor and even on the bed.. the sand was everywhere.

Not a resort…

Staff were nice, place was clean, and views were amazing. The finishes are not high end or what I would expect for a resort. Felt more like a nice motel. Grab and go breakfast dropped off on our door was a frozen Jimmy Dean muffin sandwich, an orange, and a kids box of orange/tangerine juice. Maintenance started grating the sand early so don’t plan on a relaxing morning…
