4/10 Fair

The property definitely is the place to be for the beach and drinks. breakfast was delicious but lunch/dinner not worth it. room was dirty/poorly maintained for the price.
William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly, hospitable and attentive staff. The hotel is somewhat outdated and as it's a beach hotel, may be challenging to keep completely clean (sand). However, details could be better addressed. That said, the bed was very comfortable (though the cot provided for our third person was not really acceptable - it was truly a cot, not a rollaway bed). The staff was very nice, can't emphasize that enough.
Gloria, 2-night trip
