The place was super clean, check-in and check-out were so easy, and we felt genuinely welcomed. The Pac-Man machine was a fun bonus. Our daughter loves the playground ship, and the convenience of the restroom right by the pool is a huge plus. The pool is perfect for kids—she especially loves the water bucket feature! With the beach just around the corner, everything is easy and fun. She's already asking if we can go back for her birthday—and honestly, I am too. So glad we booked this spot! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b9f3ece2-ae93-4ffc-8d6f-c0c96eea2611-1750887250910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82382bc0-69cc-4dee-b552-d582ff066da7-1750887250028.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### jade e.
