Great beach and location to boardwalk restaurants and shops. Hotel was easy to get in and out of. They seemed under staffed to support breakfast, but overall a good experience.

The staff was clueless, and I was not impressed at all with the resort.

I loved the Lazy River, game room, indoor pool and access to the beach. It was a full week of fun for my grandson, daughter and I! The staff was fantastic and helpful! The bartenders on site were amazing! Thank you for being a part of a great vacation for us!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Everything from the room, the staff, and the amenities were excellent. The hotel is right on the beach, plus the convenience of the indoor and outdoor pools & sauna. Housekeeping came everyday to clean, although I really didn't need it. I did not eat breakfast/ room service so I can't speak on the food. The staff was extremely accommodating. I had one complaint during my stay - the nosey guests next door, slamming the door every few minutes- I contacted the front desk & they promptly addressed it. Otherwise, my experience here was superb. They even allowed me late check out. I will definitely be returning!
