I loved our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend a room with a balcony, it was amazing and made it the best vacation I've had in a looong time. The room was adorable and clean, everyone was nice as far as staff was concerned and the elevators ran smoothly and quickly. 10 out of 10, I would book again!

We stayed in the South building. Room was large and comfortable. Bed was VERY firm. Took us a few days to get used to it. Oceanfront view was excellent. Tiki bar was great. Staff was very friendly. Only bad thing was the internet. Wi-Fi was basically unusable and even though our phones showed 5G it was nearly impossible to go online from the room. Outside the room and at the bar it worked fine.

The staff and lobby seem friendly and updated, and the interior room was nice, butthe exterior seems very dated and dirty and the stairwells seemed unsafe and unsavory. The one dining choice was limited but thefood was pretty good. A check out time for noon would be more comparable and desirable.

Problem with electricity on one wall-no power to outlets and lights. Coffee maker did not work. We were offered a new room but opted to stay in current room since we were there for just one night.
