The property itself was lovely. The woman who checked us in seemed bothered to have to help us. We felt very unwelcome. Concierge didn't seem to want to be there. After we had already been to our room, we decided to walk to dinner. We were practically kept from even re-entering the hotel because we didn't have a tag for a car. (We didn't have a car with us at all.) We walked to a restaurant down the way, and walked back. The Security guard at the pool was very nice, as well as the women who were working the gift shop. The lady who checked us out was friendly. The staff working the on-site restaurant and the pool bar were also kind. It's unfortunate that we felt so unwelcome at the start.

We visited during obvious construction in the area, that is why the area rating is what it is for me. I’m sure it’ll be lovely when finished. Nice upgrades have been made but it is a dated building. We’d stay there again - the staff was amazing and the important stuff was exceptional.

Pool and hot tub were excellent. Room worked out fine but double beds do mean full size not queen. So something to keep in mind if traveling with your kids. Gym was actually very nice. Easy access to a grocery store and mini fridge in the room made breakfast easy.

The staff and valet were amazing! Cheerful and helpful. The construction on the building next to hotel made the stay unpleasant.very loud wish I would've bought earplugs(They is a major remodel so I believe a year of construction left) The price was great! Had to buy coffee elsewhere(theirs was like water) The rental company on the premises was horrible. Very rude. A man named Brian, threw all of my stuff off my chair I had rented and took the chair saying "My company owns this beach"

Our room was infested with water bugs when we checked in and when we call down, the front desk said they were sending their exterminator up. I’ve never heard of a hotel having an exterminator on site, which was strange, and we had to ask to switch rooms. That wasn’t offered immediately. Also, we got a drink at the hotel restaurant and when the waiter asked if my husband would like the extra shot, he said sure. Typically an extra shot is an additional $2-3 but the waiter insisted that the price was double that of the drink. So we paid $30 for one small drink in a flimsy plastic cup. Had the waiter told us it would be double the cost of the entire drink, we would have declined because that’s ridiculous.

We stayed there 3 nights. Guest next to us where partying the first night, bottles and trash were flying around. Next night people next to us were fighting in their room, both night security had to come to the floor. If you don’t beg the housekeeping no one would replace your towels, if you beg them more - you have a chance to have trash and dirty towels removed. Not sure why this place have 4stars. Be prepared to deal with drunk people, fighting guests. We’re not coming back

I felt the price was a bit high for what was included. Everything was extra from chairs on the beach to putt putt. Our room was nice but a bit outdated. The balconies are not private. If you and your neighbor are both out it’s awkward. We had a 4th floor room and could barely see the ocean over all of the air conditioning units. Those also drowned out the ocean wave sounds. The towel staff were not friendly at all. The front desk staff and cleaning staff were very friendly. The outside bar tenders were also great. Overall we had a great time but I just thought the room price and the drinks were overpriced.

I loved the class and charming character of this resort! All the ones around it are giant white buildings. I love how this one is smaller, and unique. It was just a short walk to the water (narrow beach). I will definitely be going back and have told all my friends about it! Excellent trip without breaking the bank!

We really enjoyed the stall , they were very helpful, friendly and accommodating as possible, the construction next door and repairs to the 6th floor were not conducive to relaxing understandably the construction was out of your control that was going out in the building next-door but you could’ve waited till vacationers were not on the sixth floor to paint, repair carpet, etc. my only real complaint is that if you want to bring an outside food by the pool, you’re not allowed to eat it at your chair and if you order food from your own in-house restaurant for poolside or at your outdoor bar, they don’t give you a plate or anything very not prof, in my opinion

Building next door was under construction during our stay so all day there was construction noise. You could hear it in the pool, restaurant and beach alllllll day. The pool also got really dirty by midday. Someone should have been cleaning it throughout the day or they need a better filter. The staff was very nice and the facility was in good shape. The food onsite is okay. The drinks are good but mostly just mixed cocktails available.

The rooms shown are the updated rooms but not the room we were given at arrival, through Expedia they put you in the furthest room from the ocean view, and all standard rooms are partial view, and full size beds, Maintenance had us move after the first night because there was a water leak in the wall somewhere and they said it was flooding the people below us, they tried to give us an even worse view on a lower level where you couldn’t really see any ocean and just the buildings but when I politely explained that’s not what we had in mind and didn’t want to go to a worse room they actually did upgrade us free of charge to an updated room which is what is pictured, and the beds were queen size and overall much much nicer. Parking is 20/day. Walk to McDonald’s and dunkin, and Lauderdale by the sea was only about 7 bucks Uber one way. Overall loved being on the ocean, enjoyed our spring break, would maybe try to book directly thru the hotel next time to request a better view if possible. Would return for the right price!

I was gaslighted by their advertisement. Only the last two floors were renovated with $100 per night. The rooms were so run down and smelly. We felt unsafe and so grossed out. They don’t offer anything (I.e. water, lounge chairs at beach, golf club) other than lip services. I would not come back again!
