Liked: Cleanliness
Liked the location and the view of the dunes. The night desk clerk that checked us in needs to work on her customer service skills, no welcome words, no smile, no is there anything else I can help you with, no directions on where to park or where our room was located. The morning desk clerk when we checked out was delightful
Balcony view was awesome. Was very clean but hallway carpet seems old. Bed was too hard.
Overall a very good place to stay but needs updated to get outstanding rating
.
The check in and check out was the easiest I have ever done. We were greeted with very friendly faces. The room was clean, the bed felt amazing and the view was perfect.
Great stay with family
pool area was awesome
Beach was not very accessible to the water kids had problems getting into water from break wall
Only good place to access water was at end of dock not very convenient should have had a ladder close to beach area

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Its an old hotel but they do try hard keep it clean. Hot tub was broken, resort private beach only had 4 lounge chairs and tables . Staff at check out front desk had no personality front desk on check out... Hotel is close to everything most definitely need a new entrance sign drove by it several times.
Cleanliness: The room was spotless from the moment we walked in — fresh linens, no dust, and the bathroom was immaculate. Clearly well-maintained by housekeeping.
Staff: Everyone we interacted with was warm and genuinely helpful, from check-in to daily housekeeping. They were quick to answer questions and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Hot tub: A definite highlight. It was clean, well-maintained, and the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Worth booking a room with access to it if you can.
Balcony: The private balcony was a wonderful bonus — great for morning coffee or evening drinks with a view. It made the room feel more spacious and gave us a nice outdoor space without leaving the property.
Tip for future guests: If a hot tub and balcony matter to you, double-check room categories when booking, since not all rooms include both.
Very friendly staff, loved our stay here. Also a very convenient spot with beautiful view. Enjoyed walking next door to the coffee shop and bakery for breakfast.
