I was very pleased with my stay. The rooms were very comfortable, the view is excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant and Tiki bar was excellent and affordably priced. I felt like it was a great value for the price. I would highly recommend staying here.
Everything was absolutely amazing! From the friendliness of the staff to the view of the ocean and delicious food options. We will totally stay here again!!
The staff were welcoming and friendly, the vintage and fun decor was beachy and bright. The pool area was clean and neat, fun for families and adults. The Tiki Bar and the Ocean Grill are outstanding in very way!
There was plenty of parking upon arrival. When I checked in, I was told that my room was upgraded to an oceanfront room. The room was clean and was decorated in a current style. I was given extra time to stay on the property as I wanted to stay at he beach till 4 PM
Also ate at the restaurant last night. Food was ver good!
Stayed here with my sis and handful of kids ages 10 to 19. Stayed in the big room with many beds, had a blast. We stayed here last year when it was being renovated and I was really looking forward to coming back to see the finished product. I love the 50s feel of the place with all of the turquoise and coral. The beds and room were clean and comfortable with the fantastic view. You absolutely cannot beat this location with the pool and the tiki bar and the restaurant able to walk right down onto the sand from your room.
We will definitely be back and looking forward to it. Parking is plentiful and super easy., and the staff was accommodating and friendly and fantastic
The staff were awesome and very helpful. The beach view was spectacular, great parking. The room was clean but the floor in the bathroom needs to be replaced. The tile was not adhered and was soft when stepped on. The grout was broken and not sure what might be growing in there.
From the moment we arrived, to the time we left the staff was phenomenal! Everyone was so happy and the hotel and the rooms are so clean and nice! We will definitely be back again!
Nice retro themed hotel with close access to everything. Beach was great! Only downside was parking but we didn't know parking was available across the street in a lot.
Great property. Very clean, easy to navigate. Friendly staff. I do wish there was a broom available in the room, but overall a fantastic stay. Would stay again.
It was a nice place to stay. A little pricey for what it is but it done the job! Beds comfortable, air conditioning worked well, and that’s about all we used the place for.
Great place all around will be back soon we stayed on the older side of the property and was still very nice and clean could use little more work but definitely a nice spot on the beach! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They could really work on the elevator it was super slow and almost the hottest thing at the entire beach it felt like I was going to pass out in there it was so hot
Beach view was amazing. The staff was pleasant to speak with and extremely helpful. The only downside was the balcony could probably be renovated along with the a/c unit. I don’t regret the decision at all to stay here, money well spent.
