Perfectly Designed Studio

I stayed in a Deluxe Studio and absolutely loved it! The room was spotless and equipped with all the necessities. The huge fridge and ice maker were especially convenient, and the ample storage made it easy to settle in. The cozy setup, combined with a lovely balcony overlooking the ocean, made my stay truly enjoyable.

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool was just steps away from my patio, making it super easy to take a dip whenever I wanted. I loved how clean and refreshing it was after a day at the beach. Plus, with the ocean only a short walk away, the whole experience felt like a tropical paradise.

Essential Amenities

The bathroom in my studio was great! Everything was modern and in perfect working condition. I especially appreciated the spacious shower which was perfect for a refreshing rinse after a long day at the beach. Clean towels were plentiful, making my stay even more comfortable.

Convenient Dining Options

I enjoyed having a BBQ area just steps from my patio. It made dining a breeze as I could grill and enjoy meals outside while soaking up the beach vibe. Plus, with a Publix only a mile away, it was easy to stock up on everything I needed for my stay.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The view from my second-floor room was absolutely stunning, overlooking the beach and sunsets, but the unit itself was outdated and not very clean. The beach access was nice and there were decent walking paths, but I was disappointed with the beach chairs and the service. For the price I paid, I expected a lot more in terms of comfort and amenities.

The beach loungers were saggy and often unavailable, and the umbrellas didn’t provide adequate shade due to their poor quality. The promised cleaning services were not worth the additional charge.

The hotel offers beautiful beach views and is located just steps from the sand, which I found quite appealing.

I was really excited about this resort because of the gorgeous beach views, but overall, my experience was quite mixed. I loved the beach and the location was perfect for walking, yet the unit was a bit outdated and in need of some serious cleaning. Additionally, I was disappointed with the lounge chairs and umbrellas; they definitely didn't meet expectations for a place charging over $400 a night.

I had a frustrating experience at this hotel. The room I stayed in had a few issues, including a toilet that ran constantly and an uncomfortable bedding situation. While the beach access was great, the pool temperature was disappointing and did not match the advertised heating. The service from the manager was less than satisfactory, which overshadowed some of the more enjoyable aspects of my stay.

The resort has a stunning view of the beach and provides a clean and refreshing environment, but it's not without its flaws. While my unit was modern and spacious, there were some issues with the amenities such as the beach lounge chairs and umbrellas. I appreciated the proximity to the beach and other attractions, but the service could use some improvement.
