I had a lovely three-night stay at this resort, enjoying the stunning views of the bay and the comfortable family room setup. The location right on the beach was perfect, making it easy to access the sand and water. However, the kitchen was under-equipped, making cooking a bit challenging, and the service could use some improvement in terms of hospitality training.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the beach access was nice, the overall experience left much to be desired. The rooms were outdated and in need of maintenance, with issues like a backed-up drain and a constant toilet running. On the positive side, the nearby restaurants offered better dining options, and the beach, although small, was walkable. The staff was friendly and accommodating when I requested a room change, but the functionality of the hotel did not meet my expectations, especially considering the price.

The hotel has a nostalgic charm with a beautiful beach location, making it ideal for families. While the views from the rooms are stunning and the beach is lovely, the musty smells and outdated amenities can be quite off-putting. The dining experience, especially breakfast, was disappointing, leaving more room for improvement. We did enjoy the convenient access to jet ski rentals and parasailing, but overall, it might not be the best value for money considering the state of the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The Bayfront rooms are truly a highlight, offering stunning views that made my stay memorable. However, cleanliness left much to be desired, and the service could improve significantly. The noise from the busy area was bothersome, but the comfortable bed was a plus. Overall, while the location and views are fantastic, the lack of attention to detail is a drawback for a relaxing getaway.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was beautiful with a lovely view, and I enjoyed my clean and comfortable room. However, the service left a lot to be desired, and the uncleanliness in public areas was quite off-putting. Despite these drawbacks, the overall value for the price was fair, although the breakfast could definitely use some improvement.
