"This was a GREAT hotel on a GREAT beach. It was clean minus some wallpaper issues if you are a Stickler for optics. Had a cool feature that allows you to swap breakfast buffet for lunch buffet which worked GREAT for is as we were on EST and kids weren't waking up early for free breakfast anyway. Pool was GREAT but beach was better! We also got a reasonable price which included free parking"

"It’s an amazing hotel with the perfect location. Free drinks all day and staffs were welcoming throughout the stay. However, would appreciate they kept extra pillows in their storage as I was sleeping on an extra bed, the pillows given were softer and lower than the ones on the other beds. Asked for an extra but were informed they didn’t had any. And so my sleep was pretty terrible for all of the 4 nights ):"
