Family trip

First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.

Martin, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was not happy with the hotel. I will never stay again. The room was so worn down and had mold everywhere. We have stayed here multiple times with no issues. The customer service reps that worked the front counter were not very nice. Also, the mattress in our room was stained and looked really bad. Also, there was water dripping from the restroom ceiling.
Eliana, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel!!!

Worst place we’ve ever stayed at. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Very dirty and old peeling furniture. Towels smell like old cooking oil. Listened to fighting all night from the room next door. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Not worth the money. Lack of management. Health Department should pay a visit to them.

The property and location is great. It just needs a little upgrade, the hotel.
Esmeralda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.
Nancy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room had not been cleaned well. Mirror smeared, old cereal on the floor. Only 1towel for three people. Had to ask twice for more towels.
Ralene, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

NEGATIVE INFINITY STARS

This experience was terrible from the start. The room was dirty and smelled weird. Our tv didn’t even have a power cord. We waited over an hour for one. We were never able to hook up to their Wi-Fi on any of our devices the entire trip. I’m sure the staff there has a scheme going on because the bartender did something weird with my phone when doing tap to pay. She put it in a little cubby for what I felt was way too long, I even commented to my husband about it. Then my iPad came up missing. When I reported this to the hotel they were very nonchalant about it. The beach by the hotel isn’t bad but don’t give these people your money. WORSE EXPERIENCE OF OUR SUMMER HOTEL WISE. NEGATIVE INFINITY STARS.

It is very expensive, the hotel stops a hotel 6 is old and neglected, too much you have to pay for the accommodation and still pay for the parking of my car, it is not worth that hotel, they have very nice online photos but it is a lie it is a hotel in bad condition or bad death d

Meh..

Our initial room had a gaping hole above shower with dirty boot prints everywhere and drywall on floor. Requested new room…received room that air hardly worked in. Room was warm & muggy. Kept it as we only used it for sleep & showering but it was miserable. Hottub water was dirty & jets didn’t work. Need juice in comp breakfast.
