Our trip was wonderful! We loved the beachfront location—so convenient and close to everything. The kids had an amazing time in the pool and jacuzzi and were in the water almost every day, rain or shine. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Amazing property and staff! The room was bigger than expected and super comfy. Great mid century vibes and fun colors. Everything was very clean from the lobby to the smallest detail. Zero complaints!

A wonderful place to stay. Going to sleep with the sound of the ocean at night is great.
4-night trip

4/10

The property was convenient, and one of the nicer hotels in the area. The heated pool came in handy when it was chilly. Quick access to the beach. Close to the boardwalk. However, service wasn't great - maybe it was because I wasn't of a certain race, or that I was traveling alone with kids. Regardless, I would not stay here ever again.
