Don’t stay there. Thanks God, we stayed only one night. This hotel was terrible- the front desk persons were horrible & rude. The beds, towels, furnitures, were soooo dirty & run down. They spent money on painting & tried to renovate bathroom, but the bed sheets, the pillows, the furnitures were very dirty & looked like they have never cleaned them. The towels had yellow strains all over. I had to buy my own blanket. . It was not worth even $50 discount & I paid $92 a night. The management could have done a better job. I just don’t know how people could write better reviews.

Not gonna lie the room was a little "dingy", like there was a lot stained areas I wanna say from harsh water but it was clean and roomy. I was little taken aback by the staff (lady at front desk) because when i told her i was coming in late she told me to try to hurry up to get there. I had to explain that I was coming from pretty far into town lol but I thought that was weird. Other than that experience, they were pretty nice. The location was absolutely amazing tho! It was like a two minute walk from the beach, and the beach was clean and beautiful. Major stores like Walmart are about a 10 min drive and there were little cafes and shopping areas all around. Overall it was a great and satisfying experience. I would stay there again.

Positive: It's proximity to restaurants and bars. Negative: Air conditioning unit does not work properly. The mattress is hard and uncomfortable. Drain in the bathroom sink drains slow. Children running up and down the floors.

I was honestly surprised after reading the bad reviews my experience was totally different! I’m a travel nurse and decided to give this motel a chance, and I’m glad I did. The room was clean and the newly renovated bathroom was a huge bonus. For the price, it’s a great value. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the sheets, but overall I had no issues during my stay. I’ll definitely be booking here again for future assignments.

This hotel was absolutely incredible. The breakfast was gourmet—a huge, high-quality spread that started every day perfectly. The pool is massive and beautiful, a true resort-style oasis for relaxation. And the bar? It was amazing! Expert mixologists created the best cocktails [ worst hotel i’ve ever stayed, dirty floor is sticky SCAMDIA] I've ever had, making the evenings just as memorable as the days. Highly recommend for a luxurious getaway!
