The kids can run around in the sand, which makes it much easier for parents to actually relax and enjoy themselves. There are always tons of families around, plenty of staff, and the staff has consistently been great and accommodating when we've had larger groups. The beach access is a huge plus, and I love the fire pits with plenty of seating around them. The vibe is fun, and the live music can be great, although it's been a little hit or miss for us. My one complaint is that the volume can get pretty loud, there's a difference between a lively atmosphere and not being able to hear the person sitting next to you. Food-wise, I've generally liked the appetizers more than the main dishes. The mixed drinks are also a highlight. Overall, it's a fun, easygoing place, especially when you're going with a group or bringing kids

Three and a half stars. Not amazing and not terrible…read more We were recently here in the off season for a wedding. Unfortunately this meant that the heated pool, the restaurant and the bar were all closed. Hotel prices should be much cheaper because of this reason, but they aren't. Thankfully, there is a restaurant called Dockside within walking distance on the main boulevard. Rooms are pretty small. Ours had 2 double beds and the area to walk around them is tight. Bathroom area to access the toilet is also tight. You have to enter and squeeze behind the door to close it to access the toilet and we are not large people. The shower stall was nice and big and very clean. It comes with shampoo/conditioner/bath gel in dispensers attached to the shower wall. Blow dryer in the bathroom sink cabinet. There is also an ironing board and iron in the closet. The room looked to be nicely renovated with a coastal and light/bright vibe to it. Everything was clean which is important. The air conditioner was a bit noisy at moments with some rattling but it did the job and didn't keep us awake. There is a mini fridge and a large tv on the wall. The best part is probably the proximity to the beach with easy access.

Loved that the inn provided so many conveniences - beach chairs, towels, beach bag, bicycles, & bottled water!

They also don't charge per night what other hotels on the same row charge... if you stay in a standard pool side room it is much less than the others. However , next year , I will probably bite the bullet and pay more. First of all , we booked in March and we were told we could have a second floor standard room. At that time , the person that had communicated my booking to me never told me that that wasn't guaranteed. The day before our check-in we were told that we had to be moved to a first floor standard room, and that floor choices were not guaranteed. That was the first thing that happened that turn us off to this place. But what choice did we have? NONE. So we gracefully said "OK no problem". The first night , I noticed stains on my sheets. Right where I have to put my face. Lovely. Also . The room is extremely, damp ! Everything feels wet all of the time. I believe it is due to the fact that the bathroom doesn't have a fan , which I understand isn't necessary if you have a window in the bathroom, but I think at a beachfront hotel should have a fan in the bathroom to prevent the dampness. And because it is so damp , there is mold on the blinds in the bathroom. Shown in picture. Anyway - the furniture is all chewed up underneath- also due to dampness. I drop something on the floor and had to look under the bed for it, and it was certainly a sight to see.! don't look under the bed just ignore it They only give you 3 flat pillows per bed. You can ask for more but every pillow is flat. And when the woman brought it out to me, I'm not even sure if she had washed her hands before touching the pillow, and she had the pillow snuggled up against her chest when she carried it out It smelled like her perfume, and I wasn't happy with that. The towels have stains and are very thin and rough! The staff was rude and not friendly. I will probably never stay here again. Sorry

Right in beach and walking distance to everything. Once we go there we never drive anywhere except to the lighthouse. My only complaint is that if you are looking for a quiet place to relax this isn't it. There is a bar outside that serves food and a club in the hotel. We stayed a few days and Thursday night I was up at 1am bc you can hear constant thumping and music from the club, as well as all the drunks walking through parking lot. I think the club goes Thursday and sat night. The have live music at the outside bar also which was nice not to loud. The beaches were also VERY packed. I have 2 small kids and I would have rather something quieter. It seems to be a popular place to go out for drinks in the area. Will not be going back.
