Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was at a great location and had great views but it wreaked of the smell of marijuana at almost every place imaginable. There were people openly smoking on balconies and at the pool.

Great location! Loved the tiki bar. Con’s: there was no hand soap in the room. 2 washcloths and 2 towels for a 2 queen room. Had to go to the front desk for wash clothes/ towels and hand soap. At that time they had no towels. Had to go back again to get towels later. No one came to our room to clean it, or provide fresh linen. Yet they left a tip envelop in the room. Safe didn’t work. Elevator broke. Overall 3 star experience

There were renovations going on at the time of the stay in the lobby and common areas, but it didn't disturb us at all. Rooms were newly renovated and lovely. Right on the beach within walking distance to the boardwalk. Highly recommend!
