The location is great, but the hotel is a little out dated for me. The room was clean, but there was a spider in the shower.

Checking was at 3 and I arrived earlier than expected. They allowed an early check in with no issues. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The price is what sold me. During cruise week everything triples in price and they were still affordable. Will definitely book again in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to staying again. Such a fun atmosphere with friendly and generously accommodating staff. The bands were great! The children enjoyed their stay with the beach at their door!
The apartment was spotless. The beds were not comfortable to me and hurt my back but to be fair I am recovering from surgery and needed to be in it for a lot of our stay. Nice sheets and pillows though. Furniture in very good condition with a kitchen table. Perfect touch. The tv was super nice and a good size and the channel selection was better than economy. An appreciated touch was a DVD player with movies to "rent" in the lobby (they give you your money back when you return the movie) and an optional remote available by request from the front desk. Perfect for the children's request for Moana.
The kitchen was perfectly maintained and well stocked and any needed items were immediately provided on request. The Castle in the Sands coffee is an exclusive blend and it is delicious!! Even the tiniest detail of having a reusable coffee pot filter was appreciated. This was such a great decision to break the monotony after surgery and needing recovery. The children were happy and I could rest while hubby and grandparents stepped in for the day. I could sit in my lounger while the kids played in the sand listening to the great live music with a full restaurant and bar a few steps away with delicious virgin yummies too!
Thank you for such an awesome place!!
