United States, February 2025

9.8/10

This place has truly become our favorite getaway! The spacious apartments are not only clean and well-appointed but also offer stunning views of the ocean. We loved the great pool and spa, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. With secure parking and a convenient location just a short walk from shops and the beach, it's hard to find a better value for our family. However, it can get busy during peak times, so be mindful of that.

I had a pleasant stay at this resort. The spacious room had great amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, and it was nice to have such a clean and well-maintained space to relax. However, noise from the nearby road made it hard to sleep at times. While the pool and tennis court were great options, I did notice a few maintenance issues that need attention. Overall, it's a nice spot, but a bit of noise and some upkeep could be improved.
