Nicely renovated older property with a 60s vibe. Right on the beach with excellent views. Our deck was nice, but not cleaned up like the rest of the hotel.

We enjoyed a great family vacation here. The food and service was great. I will say this place could use some upgrades, it is dated but the treatment you receive makes up for it.

4/10 Fair

The elevators didn’t work and we had to use the only one employee elevator which was hot and smelly at times. One of the waitresses at the Bongos beach bar was rude and racist. The elevator that went up to Spinners was hot and smelly. The windows were beyond dirty. The whole resort needs an upgrade. I’m not planning on going back.

10/10 Exceptional

An excellent place for a relaxing vacation in the sun! The room was not crowded with 2 king beds in, and very well maintained by the cleaning staff. The rotating restaurant at 11th floor is one of the area's attractions - a bit pricy but you get what you're paying for! You can also enjoy a quiet sunset on the rooftop lounge, or head down to the beachside restaurant for live music. Only one negative - nowhere in the online description or hotel website is indicated that only 1 cabana and 2 beach chairs are included per room, even if you have more than 2 registered guests per room. Having to pay for the extra chair was an unpleasant surprise.

Great location. Grocery, pharmacy and restaurants all walkable. I stay in the area several times a year. Often staying at a condo with relatives. I do make regular recommendations to others and have stayed at several hotels. While most of the staff were great, the receptionist upon check in was professional but very abrupt and not friendly. (A non customer facing roll) We arrived early after a cruise and asked if it was possible to check in early. Apparently we could do so for $75. I have stayed at other properties in the area and have never been charged. (Tradewinds,Sirata, dolphin and others) Upon check in we also were told there were no rooms that were not adjoining to another room. This is something I would have liked to know ahead of time as I would not have booked. Adjoining rooms are too noisy for us. Further we should have been offered a free upgrade due to being an Expedia VIP booking.
