You can’t beat this location and the service was amazing as well. I highly recommend. We had a great time. A couple of notes, we were in the Sunrise House and the bathrooms were fairly small. Not an issue for me but might be for some. Also, this hotel is well maintained but definitely a little older. It has been updated and it’s beautiful. The location and price definitely outweigh the age of the building. The beach is right out the back door. There were plenty of activities for all ages. Breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I’ve had.

Fantastic stay and awesome staff. Called front desk about clogged toilet and maintenance came within 5 minutes. Only critique was that the rooms in the beach house (pool view/beach view) rooms were separated by a locked door and you can hear everything in the next room. We lucked out with a family that also went to bed early. Overall facilities were fun and clean with lots of dining options. Location was perfect as well.

Buyer beware of how this Hotel handles Charges and also the transactions will drop in and out of your bank ledger with no communication or reason. Made reservation in January for stay in May. Put down deposit and at checkout deposit was never applied to bill. Checked my Bank statement in January and amount changed from deposit to $1 Friday Before I arrived the hotel on Saturday hotel pulled $500 for room rate was that$399irst night. About $150 over rate, Also, when I made reservation in January there was a mix-up on room. We wanted a gulf view and was not given one. I called H hotel direct, and they said we could have a gulf view, but rate was higher, No Problem....what they did not disclose is a upgrade fee of $70 per night. I've called Hotel and asked to speak to manager.... sent straight to voicemail and now still waiting on response. At Check-in front desk staff is very sterile and not very pleasant. Spending close to $2000 a smile would be nice. They have at least three restaurants' but during afternoon hours only food available is at bar . The resort is not layed out well. The baggage carts are not near front lobby but in a hideaway near back building. The hotel is having major maintenance being performed and if you want to take a nap in the afternoon in your room good luck, Major power tools above my room . Sounded like a grinding wheel for hours. Talked with front desk and they did nothing. $400 a day on vacation and can't take a nap. STAY AWAY
