We had a beach balcony, thus we had a view of the live music every night. It was excellent we did not have to leave. Everything we wanted food, entertainment, and the beach were at the Island. We will visit again. Very family oriented which is much appreciated

It was too cold to get in the water but this is a great hotel. It’s directly on the beach has great pools and right next door (walking) to bars and restaurants on the beach. They charge $15 a night for parking. I didn’t see that anywhere.

The resort was family friendly. The resort had direct access to the beach. We frequented the heated pool during our stay. The other pools were a little chilly yet. The bar hours were limited and drinks were fairly pricey. There was only one restaurant option on site. Staff were very friendly. We had the pool view room, which had a balcony that was great to hang stuff out to dry. The wristband key card was nice to have instead of needing to carry a room card around. Overall, would recommend the resort .

The hotel went through a quick cheap remodel. It’s half a motel and half hotel. The bartenders are excellent. The access to the beach made the stay worthwhile. The pictures don’t portray the hotel accurately.

The outside areas are beautiful pool, courtyard and beach access was amazing. The hot tub was not working and only clean one of the days. The room was out dated but clean. The worst thing is the AC is on a timer. My hot flashes AC on a timer sucked. The staff explained it like it is what it is sweat.

we came here for honeymoon was great. It was. It was a little cold some days, but it was still very nice. We were disappointed that the pool bar wasn’t open. That’s the main reason why we booked this hotel must’ve the stuff around was closed because of seasonal, but overall we enjoyed the pool with the waterfall, even though it was freezing. It was quiet rather than the heated pool was very busy with families.

The staff was extremely friendly, the room was awesome nice views. The only downfall was the grotto was closed for maintenance. That was one of the reasons we picked the Resort. So we are going to try it again in the fall.

The pool was really nice but it wasn't heated so the water was too cold to get in. I wish they had vending machines to get drinks or snacks late at night but they did open the gift shop for us to grab snacks. We wouldn't have known it was open if we didn't call. The gate was closed when we walked by the lobby. Over all, It was a very relaxing weekend. I am glad my friend and I got to go. We had a wonderful time.
