United States, January 2025

5.0/10

I had quite a disappointing experience at the hotel this time. While I appreciated the beach access and the view from our balcony, it was evident that the property needed significant updates and better attention to cleanliness. The service was inconsistent, and I often felt like I was an inconvenience rather than a guest. Overall, if you're considering staying here, it might be worth exploring other options first.

Rooms

5.0

The room appeared clean at first glance but was actually grimy, especially the floors which left my feet black. There were various maintenance issues, including a clogged bathtub and broken plugs.

Service

5.0

Service was lacking; I often felt ignored when trying to get assistance. Though a few staff members were kind, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

Location

8.0

The hotel is situated right on the beach, which is a huge plus. However, it’s towards the end of the beach, making it a little less convenient if you're seeking a busier area.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were minimal, and I found the pool bar to be poorly stocked. The lack of cleanliness around the dining area was also concerning.

Facilities

5.0

Overall, the facilities felt outdated and not well-maintained, from the pool area to the public spaces.
