My family and I have stayed here three times and cannot wait to go back. Rooms are basic but clean and have everything we need. The biggest draw is that you cannot beat being right on the beach. It's a gorgeous area and we love the onsite restaurant, Nolan's. Staff is always wonderful too! Bonus, that it is pet friendly! LOVE this place. I hope to keep visiting every year!

Absolutely amazing beach front location!!! You cannot beat the location of this hotel. You can literally walk 25 feet and be in crystal clear water! The restaurant is only open in the evenings now and the pool is still undergoing renovations (which was disappointing when it was raining daily on our trip). But, I’ve been to this hotel many times and will continue to come back!

I had a midweek stay here. Staff was helpful, rooms clean, and beach is beautiful. There was limited staff working so they were having to wear many hats. Restaurant food was good but again, only one server which made service a bit slow, but I was on vacation and not bothered by a longer wait. Would stay here again.

Room was spotless! Hotel was quiet and only noise I heard was guests coming and going in the hallway. The view from my room (211) was beautiful and relaxing. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. There is a pool area that’s under construction and will be a nice, added amenity.
