We love being able to stay in a walkout unit and be on the beach. There was some sand left in the shower but other than that everything else was very clean. Staff at the office was super nice and helpful.

Run down hotel. Rooms were not updated. Layout was ok with pool and beach front but entire hotel needed a renovation. No breakfast or restaurant. Only small eats at a poolside bar.

For the price you pay, this property is ok. I would be coming back. Heated pool, on the beach, near mb miller pier. I especially liked the entertainment on a saturday afternoon. They have a guitarist and a singer performing about 2 sets. I enjoyed it. Plus their chicken fingers and fries was good. Its certainly an old facility that is renovated. Its non smoking but your still smell the smoke all over the facility.

My boyfriend and I stayed 4/14-4/17/25. We had the two room king suite. We were there after spring break so there weren’t many people there which was our plan. The views are incredible. Pool was wonderful. Trish at the Tiki bar on site makes a fabulous margarita. They did forget to put towels and a remote in our room, but Jun at the office fixed that immediately. It is an old hotel and furnishings are very basic, but the pool, beach access and beach viewing seating is fantastic. Will definitely be back.

I arrived a t the property and they didn't have my room ready and had to wait 3 hours after 4 pm then when they gave me the room it was dirty and I had to go back to the front desk to get another room, when we got to the room the view was great and that was pretty much the only good thing about it, the kitchen had roaches and the shower water won't go down, I went the next morning to tell them and they said the manager was not there that I had to go back the next day, I left a day earlier and still tryin to get my money back.. don't go there

We mostly enjoyed our stay. The bathroom needs new flooring, as the tile in our room was loose. There was also a little bit of mold in the bathroom, as well as the ceiling in the main room. It did look like management is making upgrades. Can’t wait to see the changes next year. We absolutely loved the proximity to the beach, as well as the tiki bar and pool/patio.

The property has been improving over the last several years since we have been staying there. Much cleaner and improve Tiki bar. Just didnt like not being able to get into our room until 5:30 pm when check in is 4. It is not the paying guest problem that 160 guest check out and 3 staff called out. Welcome to post covid.
