I always appreciate when a facility can accommodate an early check-in if it's the off-season and has the availability. Although not typically ideal beach conditions given the cold weather, the access to the sand and water and beautiful views were spectacular. Glad I could scout the location for potential future planning.

The property is very unique, in that it has several wings to the hotel, which enclosed an area that was filled with amenities and fun things to do. These include 2 pools, 3 bars, including the only swim up bar in the area, and 3 restaurants. There were several areas for lounging and a beautiful beach! I hope to return soon to take full advantage of the property, since it was quite cold for the area while we were there and due to ice and snow some areas were closed.

Be careful getting a beach view on the 5th floor. If there is an event on the 6th floor they are allowed to blast music and jump around until 10pm. This made sleep for my kids difficult while they partied right above us. They don’t enforce no smoking on the property unless you complain. Lastly, paying $30 for a resort fee is a little crazy in the winter considering the “heated”pool is too cold to swim and they even shut off the water to clean sand off yourself from the beach. Overall, decent beachfront property with some things they could work on to be better.

My daughter was the one staying so she could see her brother. She said having the beach so close by was amazing! The staff they watched over her so she felt safe!

Staff was not very helpful and many of the resort amenities were not available for use even though they were listed online. The room we booked listed two queen size beds but they were queen size bed frames with two full mattresses that didn’t fit the frames which led to us banging our knees on the corner of them.

Loved the location directly on the beach. Really liked the breakfast buffet & onsite restaurant. Its obvious they're trying to keep the property up to date. Didn't like the caution tape blocking pathways with no posted detour routes (you just had to walk around figuring it out).
