Exactly what we hoped for from a beachfront hotel. The staff was attentive to every detail - well maintained, clean, friendly. Indoor pool with hot tub and outdoor pool with ample deck and lounge seating. Various snacks in the lobby through the day - popcorn, wine and cheese, and fresh baked cookies! Free breakfast included was a full breakfast and delicious. We will definitely be back.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect! From the beds and pillows to the water pressure to take a shower, 10/10! Your breakfast is not like a holiday Inn but more like condo! Everything was very hot and they have a person plating the food for you. The beach access has a nice blue mat to make it easier to walk down and back up the dunes! I would stay in this hotel again versus a house due to the amenities made it feel like a house!
