I loved that it was small. I loved that their sign was very visible from the main road. it had everything and more. The staff was excellent! Donna, Julio and I think his name was Jim couldn’t have been more friendly and efficient. I locked myself out and Jim got me taken care of faster than I could have imagined. I loved the hammocks! I never dreamed they would have bikes, kayaks and paddle boards to use for free!! Sadly we didn’t have enough time to enjoy everything!

I wish our room had a bit more of a kitchen.

Room was very clean and comfortable. All the resort amenities were included and easy to access. We thought that the outdoor space was awesome, different seating areas, grills to cook on, the pool, stand up paddle boards and kayaks, all were great.

Property is probably best for families looking to make this a base for their holiday adventures and then come back in the evenings to hang out and relax. Lots of things we didn’t take advantage of since it was just the two of us.

Room big. Location on seafront. Nice pool and areas to sit. Nice sunset views

Traffic noise (i think this is all over area). No blackout blinds or curtains so need eye mask. Not really able to swim in sea - did not realise this on booking.

Super easy check-in process, we arrived late and had to depart early so unfortunately we didn’t get to interact with the staff, but they were so kind and helpful over the phone. The location was perfect for what we needed. Super close to restaurants and the dive shop and marina we were visiting. The ocean view room was well worth the price and we would absolutely stay here again. The bathroom was on the smaller side, but clean and effective for what we needed.

Clean, updated, beautiful view. Friendly staff.

Paid upfront on booking site, but had to pay extra resort fee upon arrival. Not a big deal, but would like to know total amount when shopping for room. Booking site said check in at 3, but confirmation email said 4pm. There wasn’t much time between check in and office closing to use any resort amenities as kayak paddles are kept in office.

The room was large and very nicely decorated. It was the cleanest hotel room I have ever been in. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was great overlooking the ocean. Great location. The staff friendly and helpful.. The landscaping and pool were very nice..It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved it here.

The only thing we didn't like was the stairs. We have knee and back issues that made it hard to carry our things up the stairs..

We loved the view from our second floor oceanfront suite. It was paradise! It was a perfect place to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary! The suite gave us plenty of room and house cleaning was great! We loved being on the beach very much!

Had a problem one night with others being too loud and using strobe lights on their boat that was docked. Donna the manager on duty took care of it promptly. I appreciate her doing this and concerned about our happiness!

The location was nice. I enjoyed being able to look out of my window and see the sunrise on the ocean. The attendant at the front counter was nice as well as the handy man that was working outside.

The bathroom was a bit small. The room could use a chair so one person can sit while the other is still sleeping. The AC didn't seem to get cold enough or wasn't working well enough to keep the room a cool temperature, but it did well enough to get a decent night's sleep.

Location was great. Close to our favorite restaurants. No breakfast at the motel and in-room coffee was awful, but walking distance to a Starbucks. Liked having the outdoor table and chairs and privacy

So many wasps around our door and their mud nests should have been scraped off and wasps sprayed

Great location with a beautiful view. Room was a decent size, and fairly comfortable beds. Staff was friendly as well. Best part was free rides from Freebee so we didn't have to move our car!

The bathroom was a tight squeeze (little space to move freely and get ready). The shower took WAY too long to get hot. There isn't a 24 phone number so we had to knock on staff door to get towels for the amount of people we had in our room (which was accounted for in my reservation).
