The hotel went through a quick cheap remodel. It’s half a motel and half hotel. The bartenders are excellent. The access to the beach made the stay worthwhile. The pictures don’t portray the hotel accurately.

Nice beach and outdoor bar view(nightly entertainment was nic) but not sure the resort fees and parking are worth the expense. Most of “amenities “ cost extra in addition. Room ok but could use some cleaning and upgrade of worn furniture. Most staff cheerful and responsive. Not sure worth a return.

Room was not the cleanest (spray from something in the ceiling) the grotto was closed along with the beach bar and we got no discounts on our stay even though that info was not posted or give. To use prior to booking. Also they charge for parking nothing in the booking about this. It’s an okay place but disappointing stay to say the least.
