Excellent! Loved Every Minute!
This hotel exceeded all my expectations! The decor was vibrant and eclectic, with rooms and lobby boasting a unique style.

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.

The indoor pool was closed due to maintenance, this was not related to us upon reservation. The weather was bad and the kids could not use the indoor swimming pool. No room service was made. Overall, it was not such a joyful experience.
