"The rooms are very dated. The wallpaper was coming apart at the seems. The carpet was old and dingy. The bathrooms were also dated and need to be updated. The location is fantastic and the amenities were great. However, the main pool was not very clean at all. The hallways were hot as heck and should be cooled down a bit. The Italian restaurant here was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. But overall, this place needs a lot of work."

"Right on the beach. Close to shops, malls, outlets, restaurants. You can buy all your beach items at the local shops or rent equipment right on the beach. This was our 4th year staying at this hotel. This was the longest of our stays, 1 week. Room is clean. Water pressure for showers & flushing a bit low. Balcony is a plus when you want a break from being on the sand. Fireworks were beautiful Friday & Saturday night. You can see it right from the balcony. Hope to go back next year."
