Stayed here for 2 nights for Labor Day and like most reviews say, this place had definitely seen better days.
It looks nice as you drive up and the Promenade is very nice, with a large walkway and pretty landscaping. The pools look very nice. although we didn't use. It seemed like the kids Pirate Pool was the hot spot of the property.
Things go downhill fast when you finally get into a room. The rooms are painted in a tacky looking high gloss paint-all the better to clean up I guess. The air conditioner was fairly loud, but did cool the room. Unfortunately, the huge gap under the door allowed so much outside air in, that the carpet felt wet. Wouldn't walk around in here in bare feet. The carpet seemed fairly clean, but the chairs and tables were filthy looking. The bedding looked relatively new and clean....that's where I would sit.
The bathroom looked clean, although it did appear that someone had kicked the door in some time in the past and the mirror on the back of the door was falling off. Toilet rocked too, like it was loose on its base. Water pressure was actually pretty good.
We were in the Oceanside building, near the outdoor restaurant and Saturday night the band played until 11 pm, which meant no quiet until 11:30. Such a small space as the outdoor bar/restaurant really doesn't need such a huge sound system. At times, the noise level was painful.
Entry to the rooms is from outside corridors, so its lots of fun when other guests let their children run down the building, playing with door handles all the way. With the quality of the doors, you're not really sure someone isn't going to be able to open the door on you. At least we were on the side of the building away from the ocean. While a view of the ocean would have been nice, others in our party who stayed on that side of the building got rain coming into their rooms under the doors and through the air conditioners.
There are no in room safes and no breakfast is offered-a true anomaly in this day and age. Basically, they are a family oriented destination and most people brings their kids, spend all day at the beach or the pool, eat on the property and leave their dollars there. I guess the owners feel they don't need to fix the place up as long as people keep coming and I guess they figure if the kids do damage, its not a big deal. We did eat at the oceanside restaurant (outdoors) and the food was ok and reasonable in price.
If you want to relax at the beach and enjoy any adult pursuits, look elsewhere-this is definitely a place for people with young children who don't expect polish and would rather stay someplace where they don't have to spend too much time staying on top of what their kids are doing. The place seemed pretty safe and there was a security force in evidence.
I wouldn't say it was unsanitary but its not pretty and its days appear to be numbered.
