We came during off season for a sporting event so all the restaurant and activities weren't open. But the staff was super friendly and the location was perfect. We were able to walk to the Board Walk area and hang out there at night. Still waiting on my receipt and incidental charge to be put back on my card. The hold isn't matching up with what I was told so we will see.

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.

Thin walls/doors. You could hear everything reverberate through our room (1162) and we had a suite in the beach front tower. Remodel is very old.
