Pools - great, other stuff misleading

The outside of the place is great! The room, not as much. Yes, spacious and clean, but it’s unfortunate they don’t show you the real rooms online. Old and outdated- not terrible, but definitely disappointing after all the pictures online. Beds are very uncomfortable too!

Overall, we had a wonderful experience. From check-in to checking out. Though it was a really short stay, our family and I enjoyed every second of it. The pool was perfect for us and the kids. The only thing thays needed more is shade/umbrellas. Other than that, our daughter had an amazing 7th birthday. Thank you for the chocolates and the extra pillows and blankets. You also have a great selection of local retail stores on property. We look forward to our next stay with you.

Unit #704, overall very good
26 Mar 2026
We had a two-bedroom ocean view and it worked out great. Our kids had their own space, my wife and I had our own space, and the living area had a pullout, a recliner, and table so it was large enough for all of us to hang out and not be on top of each other. The view was great as well. While the unit was a little dated, it looked and felt clean--there was not musty smell that some other reviews mention.Our only issue is the kitchen was the least equipped of any place we've stayed. Basic cooking equipment was not stocked. No salt or pepper, one small spatula, one small skillet, no baking pans, etc. It's nice the unit had a full kitchen, but we really had to improvise. The resort's two pools were nice because the one closest to the beach was not crowded. From that pool, you can walk up to the bar at the restaurant and grab a drink. The resort grounds were nice and well-maintained. The location is great! The food truck park is a short walk around the corner; the supermarket a short walk across the street; urgent care (unfortunately we had to visit it) is a short walk across the street; and, Duke's is a short walk down the beach.The beach at the resort is fairly narrow and there are rocks here and there in the water, but better beaches are a short walk away. Parking was easy, whether it was in the lot or in the garage. It would be nice to have luggage carts at the entrances to help with getting groceries to the units, but not a big deal.

Great resort with access to everything local.

It is a great hotel and a beautiful place to stay. The rooms are big and have a great view of the courtyard. The staff is wonderful. If you are comparing resorts and prices, you do need to factor in the age of any renovations. The 2 rooms we had were damp and musty-smelling. Maybe time for some new carpet and a deodorizing of the air conditioning system.
