Honestly it was a lovely place to stay, but the costs add up quickly. Drinks are very very expensive, the food is very expensive, chair rental is on par for the season. Not sure what the resort fee on top of what youvalready pay for your stay is about but it is what it is. Clean and convenient and great service.

Last minute get away.

From check in to check out, the staff was super friendly and very helpful. We were even told before booking our room that if it was ready early that we could get a pass and enjoy the hotel amenities while we waited. The hotel was super clean and so was our room. We had a great view of the pool area and the beach from the second floor. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it was always full of people who looked like they were enjoying it. Our daughter swam in the pool and lazy river for hours both days we were there. The pool area and lazy river area was always clean with plenty of towels. If you are looking for a family friendly place to stay, this is it. We will definitely book another stay soon.

I loved the location of the property. I got the vibe of a worn out spring break hotel that used to be elegant. There were items in our room that needed repair or attention. The water in the pool was freezing cold and only one bar/restaurant open. Disappointed for the extra $49 "resort fee" and what it actually covered. Would have rather stayed at the Holiday Inn Express down the road it was much nicer and the same price.

I’ll never stay at a Holiday Inn again

When I got to the hotel… And I have stayed here several times… The gentleman behind the counter, treated me with a condescending attitude and ignored my request to be on a higher floor, then proceeded to stick me as far from the elevator as he possibly could and told me that I couldn’t get a better room because I didn’t pay anymore. I will never stay at this hotel again more importantly I’ll never stay with Holiday Inn again there were no people in the parking lot no cars the hotel was near empty and the difference in the cost of my room and those on upper floors was only $10-$20. I don’t normally leave negative reviews but this was ridiculous and I felt necessary to let others know.
