Pros +
- The room being oceanfront and spacious.
- Location
- The staff were friendly and accommodating. They did everything u would expect to make your stay great . The view was awesome. The room beat our expectations ( would liked more than a bag a coffee , cream sugar and tea would of made it better)
Cons -
- The TV kept going in and out. Buffering a lot
- Indoor pool area could have been cleaner
- The restaurant was low tier being a resort. Out of all kinds of items. Seamed they should have two bartenders at the tiki bar for the needs of the guests & the restaurant food was mid once you figured out what they had.

That they refunded my money with no issue. That there was an ocean view from the balcony.
The hotel, which gives more of a motel vibe, is outdated and dirty throughout. The staff did not seem that pleasant except the one young lady who switched my room and ultimately reimbursed me because the hotel resort did not live up to my expectations.
