Everything was very nice and it was great being right on the beach. I loved being able to go from the pool to lunch to the beach all without having to even run back up to the room. I wish they had a continental breakfast or complimentary coffee, bottled water was free, beach chairs, towels and shade all included so that was great. Would definitely stay again!

Very clean rooms, friendly staff, and plenty to do. We took a short bike ride to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea for drinks and food, which was a great experience. We also Ubered to Glitch Bar—it's a bit farther out, but definitely worth it. We spent our evenings relaxing by the pool until 10pm and really enjoyed the bar there too. We’ll definitely be staying again and bringing the kids next time!.
