Ballard's

10/10 Excellent
"We visited Ballards with a group of friends to celebrate a 55th birthday, and we had a great experience. Three couples in our group stayed 2 nights, and the rooms were very nice, clean and quiet. Having an AC was a plus! We rented cabanas on the beach which made the experience even better. The food was very good, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Overall we had a great time celebrating at Ballard’s and would definitely recommend it."

"Loved the space. We thought an extra mirror or long mirror would be helpful. Hooks for towels or another towel bar would work too maybe e near the sink for hand towels. Aldo a shelf under the sink for toiletries. Just minor things but make a difference. Even a soap dish. We have to use a towel or napkin for soap. Other than that’d everyone was very attentive and helpful for calling cabs etc. we loved the close proximity to everything. Thank you. The AC was awesome too."
