Coffee pot in the room was broken. AC from another business made the balcony noisy such that you couldn’t hear the ocean waves or enjoy conversation. The room was very nice. Bedding was nice. Shower was good, Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Angry manager

The hotel itself was a great location. The manager of the hotel Peggy was always stressed out and always in a bad mood. We had no towels the first night or a shower cap we had to call down and get them. They were never brought up I had to go down and get them the second day. Housekeeping did not enter our room and we made it a point to go down and let them know we were leaving the day, and to please make sure that the room was clean and had towels. Got back to the room the room had not been cleaned did not have towels had to call down again. Finally they came up and cleaned the room we had to leave and go down stairs while they were cleaning. The charging station in the lights on the right side of the bed did not work I called in also reported that the first night was not fixed the first or the second night on the third day it was fixed that was our last day. Peggy it said that she was going to deduct some of our expenses because we rented a cabana which was $250 and even though our breakfast was prepaid we still owed for the breakfast I guess if you prepay and you go over whatever amount you prepay you owe the difference. She was supposed to deduct that off as well to fix all our problems that we had but that was never taken off our bill. The only one that I can give a 10 star to is the young man that helped us with our luggage and that Valet Parked our car his name is Grayson. Grayson was wonderful!

Love this place!

This was our first stay here, and we will be back. We've stayed at multiple locations on the island, and this is by far our favorite hotel. The staff was amazing and helpful, the view from the room was gorgeous, the hotel was clean and comfy, but most importantly, the pool was huge, heated, and the hotel supplies a ton of pool toys for everyone to use. It was extremely family friendly--this will be our "go to" from here on out! We walked across to the beach a couple of times, but the pool area was so nice, we actually preferred staying at the hotel. They have a great hot tub, as well. Loved it!!

My family comes here at least once a month. We enjoy the stay, the pool, and the atmosphere. Employees have always been very attentive and there for you. The remodel looks great also. Breakfast could use an uplift though, and is very pricey.
