The property is going through a renovation to the open area/dining area. The renovation prevents internal walking between the checking area/front desk to the rooms without walking outside. Not really an issue since we really didn’t need the front desk. The renovations should be completed soon (2024).
The complementary breakfast is served without too much of an impact. It’s a little tighter but works.
Booking through Expedia or third parties prevents points counting towards the Marriott BON-VoY app.
The beach is a short and direct walk along a sidewalk. Parking at the beach was limited in the parking lot but 4WD and AWD vehicles are allowed parking on the beach. Not sure if permitting is required.
There is a green space walking path from the parking lot. A very nice walk.
There are no balconies. This is the only short coming. It would be nice to dry beach wear and towels off a balcony.
The staff is outstanding. We look forward to returning.
We LOVED this hotel! From the super fast check in to the fast check out. We loved the friendly staff- especially Dawn at night who was just absolutely lovely. The people that ran the breakfast were all amazing! The patio area with the fire pit was a great place to relax at night. It was also in a great location. Would highly recommend this place and would return for sure!
Waking up and walking down to the beach - it was amazing!

Front desk staff was very nice and helpful, room is great, location a short walk to the beach, restaurants abound. A shuttle bus is available to take you anywhere you want to go on the island. A broken iron was replaced upon request. Very quiet within the hotel. Price was reasonable for high season. All in all an enjoyable experience.
Great place but they use Dish for tv service who dropped the contract with Fox. As such I had to walk to a local bar to watch the NFC championship game. Sat at the smoke filled bar next to a drug dealer. Not the experience I hoped for when I booked the place. May be time to switch tv providers.
Property was great, awesome breakfast included, great location, amazing staff, unfortunately we found hair on the bathroom floor and shower drain was clogged (we ended up cleaning).

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Sheets not changed between guests. Not returning
Suite was a good size however the cleaning staff does not clean or change the sheets between guests. I am allergic to dogs and when I got into bed I immediately broke out into hives and my face swelled up. I knew a dog had been in the bed and the sheets hadn’t been changed. So my first night there was miserable. The fact that a dog was in the room prior to our arrival was confirmed by the front desk. When I complained the next morning (as it was too late at night) was taken care of sheets changed and part of the room cleaned. Winter was great when checking us in and in rectifying the situation the best she could. It shouldn’t be an issue in the first place. Cleaning a room and changing sheets between guests should be a basic standard.
The breakfast staff with the exception of one grumpy older lady and a girl who barely spoke English were great and welcoming. All the rest were super friendly and accommodating.
Wouldn’t stay here again
Property in need of new mattress, ours was worn and sagging, and the plumbing made loud gurgling noises from the sink waking us up overnight. Also the coffemaker had parts missing and was nonfunctional. The cooking implements are very old and worn and need to be replaced.
Most things were very good at this hotel, aside from the shower and sink(s) water slowing down to a complete stop occasionally. It would usually come back on in approx one minute, but its inconvenient when taking a shower, shaving or brushing teeth, and during our 4 day stay, it happened at least 3 or 4 times.
Lovely hotel, very good breakfast with a lot of variety and healthy options . The hot tub was nice and the pool, although super cold. My main complaint is that they charged me $125 for pet fee, which is so ridiculous. I travel with my dog all the time have never paid over $ 35. Very dissatisfied.

Good Morning, Carla -Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We did check on hotels.com where you booked and see the pet fee information on the home page of our hotel. We are very sorry that you did not see this prior to making your reservation. We hope the other parts of your stay were great!
This trip was a getaway to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our time here very much and we booked your hotel primarily because of value as well as having a whirlpool.
It was clean. The staff was great. Any situation that arose was handled quickly, professionally, and with courtesy. The suite was fully equipped as stated. The rooms were sound proof. Full breakfast with great variety
and staff to assist. We loved our stay.
Room was great, breakfast was great, staff is awesome. Outside sitting area and pool was really nice. The ice cream machine was a really nice addition. Very quiet and not far from the beach.
We absolutely loved our suite! Everything was clean and we had plenty of space. What made our time the absolute best were the kind and friendly staff: Sage, Jeremy, and Zach. (Take good care of them as they are wonderful representatives of your hotel!) Seriously, I can’t express how they went out of their way to make our days upbeat and pleasant! Breakfast was awesome all 3 days and we really hated to leave. We look forward to staying there in the future and will highly recommend to all our friends.
