Location, location, location
Excellent location, location, location. On the point, beautiful sunsets from the room or bar/pool. Near shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and responsive, availability of services good. This resort is older, noticeable in the rooms; loose plumbing, noisy ventilation, a heavy, sticky sliding door to the lanai. However, the bed was very comfortable, linens and towels fresh and clean. Restaurant service was very slow, the food just okay, a lively bar.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great affordable option in a great location walkable to all of the beachfront restaurants and shops. We had a nice clean, comfortable room with a balcony overlook the ocean. The gym was functional and clean and the morning yoga was free and great. Only two complaints - the checking process was extremely slow (half-hour wait in line) and they only had rooms with two doubles rather than the king that we reserved.
