Generally it’s a nice property, great pool and hot tub areas but there is construction and it is noisy. The construction gets in the way of one of the restaurants. The beach is okay but the Mountain View is great.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the start of April 2024. We had a King Room, Pool View and we’re on the 3rd floor in the easternmost building. Cleanliness is huge for me, and this property and room was immaculate. The hotel room had flooring throughout (yay for no carpet when you’re packing sand around), and the bathroom was one of the largest I’ve seen in any standard hotel room with an awesome walk in shower. Staff with pleasant and very helpful. The view: phenomenal of the large pool area, with glimpses of the beach, waves and cruise ships parked out in front. The resort was gorgeous. Beautiful gardens, beautiful pool area. The food choices: a hotel restaurant that is poolside and open-air. We ate breakfast, dinner and had a nightcap here. Did not disappoint. There was also a patio dining option for coffee-shop style fair in the AM and sushi in the evening. A couple minutes walk along the beach path gets you to a beach bar, and beach side dining in the form of Italian and a surf and turf restaurant. Many food truck options just outside the property too. And only a couple minutes to the airport, so super convenient, and the sounds of waves crashing was louder than any planes. The planes did not disturb us in any way. Overall, one of the best properties I’ve stayed at.

Loved how close to the airport this property was located. While staying at this facility, you didn’t even know there was an airport close by. Very quiet! Awesome resort, would stay there again!
