The grounds were beautiful & felt very tropical.
Amenities were not great, especially in comparison to the resort fee & never saw any info on the spa or other amenities for that matter. The beds were okay but pillows were too fat. Most of the staff was great. Zach was especially helpful, very pleasant young man
The amenities at the hotel were quite nice: pool, hot tub, free arcade for the kids, and three on-site dining options. It is a beautiful property and well situated between the bay and the ocean.
The private beach area was great as worthy life animals such as parrots.
The pool and hot tub were pretty awesome and I enjoyed the tropical Hawaiian vibe too
Ate at the Ocean twice and food was great both times and service attentive. We're in the tower and the view of the bay and large suite were awesome. It is an older place with popcorn ceilings and no bellman to help with bags or locating you unit. Check-in was awesome accommodating our early arrival. It's a great beach resort at which I.would.like to spend a week.
Breathtaking views, family friendly environment, great place to stay with kids, amazing food at the Oceana restaurant, lovely beach. The only downside is old bathrooms. It really needs a good renovation- a walking shower, new tiles and walls would attract more guests there specially younger generations.
The garden view room on ground floor was exactly as described. Room itself was great size and had everything needed. The aesthetic fits the theme well, although a bit of an upgrade to the worn out dingy carpet would be an improvement.
Easy beach and pool access with several nearby restaurants and shops. The tropical feel was a nice escape on a budget. Great for families. Would definitely stay here again!
It is a great location! The rooms are basic, they have a fridge and we asked for a microwave. We backed onto the pool, it was surprisingly quiet. The hotel is great for kids, pool and hot tub, the arcade was free and we had a great time playing air hockey!
We had a short stay of two nights, with two littles (ages 7 and 4). The rooms were nice, however outdated, and accommodated our needs quite well. We got an ocean view, while being in the tower. The staff was very pleasant and they had events over the weekend, which was pretty cool. This place is like a little tropical island tucked between the bay and the beach. The bay is right off from the property and it is very short walk to the beach (100yards maybe). I would defiantly stay here again.
Rooms were a bit outdated, staff were okay but we really liked the amenities and the resort hotel itself. Beautiful landscaping, nice pool and hot tub area, an arcade, restaurant. All of it is very beautifully done and its a great location.
Old hotel, no microwave in rooms. Beautiful area on beach. But 1970ish style needs Major upgrading. Walkway cement crumbling, dangerous! 3 days I payed over 1600 dollars.
