When we arrived (late in the evening) we saw tiny roaches...thinking it was a one time sighting, we stayed. The next day I found several ticks! Even though we paid to stay that next night we had to leave. We informed the front desk, who seemed not to care. Several days later my husband broke out in mite bites. Two... more

The worst ... Our room was disgusting. Stains everywhere. Bathroom was horrible. A/c did not work well - slept backwards on the rock hard bed to feel the semi-coolness. There was one lamp in the corner for light. There was no smoke detector. Everything was old and neglected. Thank God we didn't have to stay in the room long. Had... more

I've specifically logged in to this site to write a review because a. I used this site for info before our June family trip and b. I don't consider myself a snob, but I wouldn't recommend this place. The rate seemed good...$150 with a kitchnette and the photos on their web site looked nice enough pool, playground, looked like an... more

Okay, will say positive first....room was decent and clean, bed was mostly comfy. Now for the negative....we have stayed here twice now and must say it got worse, the owners that is. There is a sign in the room saying checkout is 11:30 but they made my daughter and her boyfriend checkout at 10:00 because "they were ready to clean... more

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Delfina, the head housekeeper was very helpful and her staff including Dawn were great. During our stay, we locked our keys in our room and Ray came to our rescue. Thanks for a great place to come to the BEACH! more

My husband and myself heard about this place from a friend, we came down for a week over the 4th of July weekend. We had a blast, little did we know that they throw a yearly 4th party for their guests. Our entire time at the resort we were made to feel special. The rooms are large and real clean... more

We made the reservation online after looking at the pictures of the hotel on their website, booking a king bed non-smoking. The lady called us the night of check in to see when we would arrive, being that I was getting off work late and driving from san antonio we would not arrive until 12am. When I told her this,... more
