"After having to abruptly leave a different hotel because it was filthy and had roaches, my friend, me and our kids booked this hotel last minute and we ended up being pleasantly surprised and grateful. The price point was wha we were looking for, the rooms were large, had a nice out door lounge area, pool was great, and it was clean. The staff friendly and accommodating. And best part….. no roaches. I will be booking this hotel again when I visit in the summer. "

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"
