Loved the beach! Very private and lots of room to walk! Property is somewhat dated, but room was sufficient. Liked the oceanview balcony and windows, kitchette, and 2 toilets. Pool area is nice, but no view of ocean, only the sand dunes.

The elevators are in need of updating and cleaner rugs. Perhaps a good coat of paint would improve the look. The staff was GREAT AND HELPFUL! Were repeat guests. Our plan is to return We’ve recommended your establishment to family and friends. We do not want them to be disappointed. Thank you for everything.

Dining room table collapsed, microwave oven did not turn. Otherwise we enjoyed our visit, staff were very courteous. Staying 2 more nights cost us over 900. .00 dollars. Lunch and dinner were not available for first 3 days we were there. Hot tub did not work.

Katrin

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

No

While overall it was a good stay I wouldn’t use this location again. The reception was always understaffed. Staff seemed disinterested. The room was subpar - water pressure was pitiful, and when you turned the water on it smelled bad. Towels and toilet paper were very thin. Lastly, the bed was too soft and squeaked, and the balcony chairs were very uncomfortable. I was overcharged for the room and the excuse they gave was it was because it was on a Sunday. And the extra $25 per day facility fee is bullsh*t. The view is very good. That’s about it.
