The original room that we were assigned to was filthy and run down The property moved us to a partial ocean view room which was clean, however, it was too small for our needs. Overall, I was not impressed and I don’t think it was worth the money. I paid a resort fee as well and this was not a resort. It was just a few buildings.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry you were not happy with your room move- I did upgrade you to a larger room with the same double beds as the room you originally booked - not to mention a partial view. I was not trying to impress you just to try and make your stay better with us. We do not claim to be a resort as the "resort fee" actually covers the beach badges, beach chairs & towels and other things to do during your stay.

I would not stay here again. The building was old. The ac was loud and inadequate. Very disappointing. The staff at the office was very nice though.
