Stayed Nov 5-9 in room 801 - Oceanview.
Overall a great value for the money.
Positives: Directly on a very nice section of beach. Nice, well kept pools. The main pool by the Tiki bar is kept at a nice warm temp. Lots of nice lounge chairs and tables with shade for eating. Cushions for the lounge chairs are an extra $2/day.
Food at tiki bar was very good. HIghly recommend it for lunch and appetizers. Drinks were expensive. Staff all very friendly. Wish they had music playing at the pool - it was only at the tiki bar. No A/C in the lobby. Elevators have been updated and are very fast.
We had a king bed - ocean view room. The room was spacious and clean and the bed itself comfortable. However, very dark ambience. I would prefer a more updated / bright look. But.. it was still very very nice.
Bed was very comfy. Loved the balcony with 2 large lounge chairs - with cushions! Could see the sun rise over the ocean in the morning and set over the city in the evening.
Dislikes; There is only 1 ice machine on the lobby floor. It did work very well and had lots of ice when we needed it. But, would be nice to have more.
I really disliked the bedding ! I would rate this hotel better if the rooms were brightened up and the bedding was upgraded. The 'comforter' was only a sheet covered with an old scratchy blanket and then another sheet. They come apart and is not warm or comfortable. Please upgrade to duvets on your beds ! Other than that.. no complaints about the hotel and would definitely stay again.
The area is very quiet. If you are looking for alot of bars and night life, it is not at or near this hotel. You will have to walk approx 20 minutes to where there are a few more bars and shops. Again.. not a big night life.
Directly across the street there is a small bar 'Stingers'. Great food.. specialize in pizza. They do have a karaoke bar there also. There is also a small convenience store and a beach/souvenir store .. across the street.

I was really pleasantly surprised with this hotel after reading mixed reviews.
The hotel is right on the beach as well as being close to places to eat or shop.
We had 3 ocean view rooms. The decor was nice and the rooms were very spacious.
The bathrooms could have been a bit bigger tho.

My husband and I stayed here on a living social deal. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with 2 pools and a tiki bar. Our room was beautiful with a dark wood and island decor. The big king size bed was comfy although the pillows were not. Included in our stay was a cabana on the beach which we really enjoyed. The bar staff was friendly and so was the front desk. I was a bit hesitant because while making reservations they were a bit rude. They could also use a hot tub. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again.

Stayed here for 3 nights recently while visiting my college senior daughter. Property has two pools - one is for the quiet types, the other attracts the tiki bar crowd. The property is right on the beach, so no worries there about crossing traffic.

The bartenders at the tiki bar were great and treated us like regulars from the first order to the last (with many in between!). There's liive music Thursday - Sunday nights poolside by the tiki bar. Not sure if he's always there, but Patrick played the Friday, Saturday and Sunday that we were there. Great guy, can play just about anything you ask him to.

The rooms were very nice, high end furnishings, updated bathroom. The only complaint would be the old-school tube TV with 20 channels. I guess the resort is geared to keep you outside having fun, but it would have been nice to watch TV at night on a decent TV.

The restaurant downstairs serves a nice breakfast, for a moderate price (about the same as you'd spend at Denny's or IHOP). The only thing included with the room for free would be the in-room coffee pot.

All in all, there's no way to beat the experience at $110 a night on the beach.
