This resort is very clean and has a nice pool
and is right on the beach with chairs and umbrellas free to use. Some rooms face lakeside which is beautiful and some face the ocean or pool. The balcony was very nice to sit on at night or in the a.m. there is no hot tub but it says there is on their website. I don’t understand why they have to charge $25/ day for parking when they already charge a resort fee on top of the nightly charge. Parking should be included in the resort fee. Our stay was great, the resort was great but maybe include parking in the future.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We booked two rooms, one for my husband and I and the other for my older teenage sons. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. There was plenty to keep us occupied. We did have breakfast once at the restaurant. The only issue was that they got my husband's order wrong, but the food was still tasty. The staff was helpful and polite. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and were sad to say goodbye.

Beautiful clean resort right on the beach. Staff to help set up complimentary umbrella and chairs on the beach. Drink and food service on the beach as well. Staff greeted us with a smile and offered to help with luggage. Check in process went smoothly with the help of Marina. Marina and RJ team also went out of their way to help us decorate our room to surprise our friends for their 50th birthdays. We also received a box of chocolate and card from them, very kind gesture. We had a great time and look forward to coming back next year. Thank you again to Marina and RJ team for making our stay special and memorable!

It was great to find a property that offered a private beach, an outdoor pool, and an indoor pool all in one location. The rooms were nice and had a nice view overlooking the pool.

The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that the property could use a quick and convenient outdoor food option. The onsite restaurant could also benefit from some updating and more casual, poolside dining choices.

Otherwise, if you’re looking for a family-friendly hotel with easy beach access, don’t hesitate to book!

Our family of four adults and three children rented a townhouse with three bedrooms. an annoying thing was the unit was not supplied with items like a vegetable peeler. These units are not meant for real cooking, but traveling with young kids, you might want to make salads for lunch or part of a simple dinner. No pots and pans or kitchen utensils in general. Serve ware was limited.

Nice private beach and indoor and outdoor pools. The maids and grounds people were nice -the rest were condescending. Only thing we liked was the beach front location. The room is a typical old cape motel room ,upgraded a bit baths is same. Has a decent TV, (when it worked) a fridge, a safe, 2 pods of coffee. We could not use our balcony due to flies, (it also smelled like a dead animal out there, yet the grounds are really nice.) The tv was out during the time it rained, no balcony, so we left. The hot water for a shower was just dam cold. Complained. They never heard this problem before. Yeah, right. Soap in the shower are those shampoo, body wash, conditioner tubes- so annoying. Push and pull up the lever 100 times for a drop of soap, which drips right on the bottle. There are ZERO amenities, unless you count the lemon water in the lobby. No continental breakfast, not even complimentary coffee in the morning unless you count the 2 coffee pods in the room. Oh and they surprise you last minute with $25 a day parking fee. I missed that when i booked. So, over $900 for 2 nights for a room near the beach. If you know the area like we do, there are many way way better options. We wanted to try it ,as it looked great from Seagull beach, but we will not go back.

This is my second stay in 4 years.

Clean Oceanview Room.
Beautiful Beach
Plenty of chairs laid out for you.
Beach only steps from the rooms.
Nice outdoor pool, children’s pool, lounge chairs, umbrellas for all (September)
2 weddings while I was there, never heard a thing once I was in my room with door closed.
Nice fire pit at night.
Wonderful young helpful friendly staff from Montenegro.
The Spa.

Not so good:
The restaurant space is not at all inviting. The menu is limited. A hamburger with fries was $30.00 at dinner time.
It’s tough if you’re handicapped in any way. There are no designated bellmen. The young man at the reception desk helped me get my belongings upstairs and down a long hall.
The indoor pool area has a strong chlorine? smell.
It was confusing where to get towels for the beach.

Nice location. Right on the beach. Beautiful room with plenty of space. Lots of beach chairs to use. Long stretch of private beach to enjoy.
Thin walls which meant the children running in the room above us just after 6am woke us up much earlier than we'd like while on vacation. Also noisy ladies up late drinking and talking kept us awake longer than desired. Overall, I'd recommend.

Property was very nice. Beach was well maintained and chairs and umbrellas were plentiful. Indoor and outdoor pool were also nice and great for the kids. A lot of entertainment options for kids.

Room and beach towels were small and uncomfortable. Housekeeping staff was generally unfriendly and felt like they went out of their way to not say good morning or hello. Many other staff were extremely friendly. Charging $25 a day to park is ridiculous. The parking lot is somewhat small but each room should be allowed to have 1 car and then you can charge for a second car if there is one. That would be my biggest complaint about an otherwise great stay. We would definitely return.

My only complaint would be the seating around the pools. The pool did not open daily until 9am but there were towels, bags, and other items on the chairs to reserve seats at the pool before 7am daily. When we could get a chair or two and spent time at the pool, the chairs with stuff reserving them were not used for hours at a time. We want to be able to safetly monitor the kids swimming and could not always do so.

Not a Resort—Just a Pricey Motel with Beach Access
We paid over $500/night (plus $25 parking & 20% auto-gratuity) for what felt like a dated motel with a pretty view. The only great part? Nature: the beach, flowers, breeze, and bunnies.

The “Resort” Reality:
• Parking: $25/night—no spots when we arrived (on a Monday night).
• Room: Looked like the photos, slept well.
• Coffee: 1 used pod, 1 hazelnut.
• Breakfast: Buffet nearly empty at 9:30 AM. Ordered à la carte—raw eggs, missing toast, slow service.
• Atmosphere: Chaotic. Screaming kids, crying babies, coughing, spilled food, no peace.
• Beach: Towels require 1 card each—only given 2. No beachside service.
• Food/Drinks: Few options, overpriced. $17 for a plain burger, $15 for weak mixed drinks.
• Pool: Packed with kids. Cabanas are rentals—no casual use.
• WiFi: Gone by Day 2. That was the last straw.

We left early. Some staff were nice, but overall service was inconsistent. This place leans on location and nostalgia, but the experience doesn’t justify the price. Maybe worth $250/night—maybe.

There were lots of beach chairs even for a holiday weekend you did not have to wake up early to get a good spot. Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas provided without a fee. You get towel cards for towels. There is an indoor and outdoor pool. It’s great that there is a restaurant on property and a small lunch place that serves hotdogs/hamburgers/salads/drinks/
beer. Overall great stay although I do wish they would clean the rooms without having to call every morning if you want service. I found that the front desk was very responsive to any requests we had such as extra waters or when we did call to have room cleaned.

Disappointing Stay – Not as Advertised

I booked this hotel hoping for a relaxing, beachfront getaway, especially since it was marketed as recently renovated. Unfortunately, aside from the nice landscaping and convenient beachfront location, my experience was far from what was promised.

There was hair all over the tub, walls, and bathroom floor, clearly left from the previous guest. It was obvious the tub and walls hadn’t been properly cleaned.
The room doors were sticky and dirty, with peeling paint. It looked like they were just painted over rather than replaced or properly refinished.
Closet issues – Several hangers in the closet were broken
There was an iron in the room, but no ironing board.
The pool area had standing water all over the floor and didn’t feel clean or welcoming.
The fire detector in our room was beeping and flashing all night, making it nearly impossible to sleep.
The service was the worst part. The front desk manager was unhelpful, dismissive, and never smiled. Anytime I asked a question or made a simple request, the answer was a flat-out “no.”
I brought up all of these issues during checkout, including the sleepless night caused by the beeping detector, but received no apology or resolution.

I’ve stayed in other nearby hotels like Bayside and Sunbird, which truly feel like resorts. Sadly, this hotel didn’t come close, despite its great location.
