Great pool, the bar was awesome, the karaoke night was so fun. 10 minute drive to downtown like 20 to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay.
Tessa, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay here. I came with 3 friends and we stayed in a bunk room. We had a few issues checking in but were able to call and get assistance right away. The staff on site was very nice and helped us immediately with a problem we had in our room. We stayed right by the pool and were nervous it would be loud at night but it wasn’t at all. A very cool vibe and you can tell the owners really care about the property.
