The Lani-Kay is a great old hotel. It just reciently reopened after the hurricane a couple of years ago. It is right on the beach, and the beach is beautiful. This hotel has it's own atmosphere and vibe. It's noisy and not "classy" but it is fun. And there is lots to do and many places to eat in easy walking distance. I have been here before and I will be here again.

Go & relax, have fun and maybe bring earplugs!

Hotel recently remodeled and room updated and clean. Building is 40+ years old, so maybe that’s why walls are paper thin? I could hear very clearly complete conversations from the guests on each side of my room. Great view of beach from our balcony, and it’s a plus that all rooms face the beach!
