“This hotel is gorgeous. They have tons of beautiful flower displays everywhere. They staff is amazing and friendly. The staff is what made out experience great. They could have more dinning options available. Love the beach service where they set up your spot for the day. The hotel rooms is where they could use some work.

Definitely not big enough for four people. Not enough space to store clothes. No dresser. No” — Dayna Koldeway
