We got a beach front, balcony room. Room was okay, not luxurious. Unfortunately, the weather was not warm enough to enjoy the veach and we stated only 1 night. Parking and lobby was across the street and nobody offer help with luggage. The pool was warm and granddaughter enjoyed it. The beach-front bar looked fun and good, but with our limited time, I didnt even have time to enjoy my 2 drink vouchers. There is a fun area with restaurants and shops. We dined at Benihana.

Fine but we expected more for the cost
We had a good stay. For the price, though, we expected it to be a bit higher end. The beach access, chairs, and umbrellas were a nice perk. The pool was good, but standard. The food at the beach bar wasn’t great or worth the prices. The coffee bar was only open until 1 pm, which was inconvenient (in-room print materials indicated the coffee bar was open until 5 pm). It was convenient to have a Publix and CVS across the street, but most good food options (with a few exceptions) were about an 11-minute walk away. If you want hotel beach access/beach amenities, this could be a good option. If you want a really nice/big pool and great food on site, this may not be what you’re looking for.

The only thing was that there was a big tree at our balcony so couldnt see the ocean very well. We paid for ocean view and was Partially obstructed. The pool and bar staff were wonderful as for the front desk . The octopus restaurant was very good as for the other coffee shop was good too. People been very nice.

Being on the beach is a perk. The view from our room was awesome. The lobby area was good but They should have the inside bar open at night. The outside bar is good as long as weather is good. Some areas could be upgraded which I believe they are working on. Loved that they have bikes to use. It may matter to some that the lobby is across the street from the building on the beach. It was odd in the morning to go across the street for coffee but if I were to go back I would pick the same building

Little rough but nice resort
The room we were in was very clean, the bed was rock hard and we woke up every day sore but with lots of stretching found relief. Remember when booking this is a pet friendly resort. Loved seeing all the dogs as I am a dog lover. The problem was the room next door had a dog that barked at night, most of the night and early morning. Addressed it after night 1 but nothing was done and when checking out was told I should of said something (which I did). Overall the resort is nice and quiet

Nice
Nice place, no complaints. It is a ‘hippy’ vibe and decor, Walking distance to main town square. Beach access is close. Pool is clean and heated-very nice. Beach and poolside service is attentive. Dissatisfied with extra parking fees added on top of room fees AND resort fees.
