I had an amazing time at this hotel during my getaway! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the outdoor relaxation area was a wonderful surprise. The staff went out of their way to help us, especially with charging our car. However, I do wish there were plugs by the beds to make charging devices easier. Overall, it was a great stay with lots of fun activities.

I had a really frustrating experience at this hotel, which started with their poor communication. When we arrived late due to ferry schedules, the key wasn't left for us, leaving us stranded at night. To make matters worse, I found the manager unhelpful and rude when I finally got to speak with her. The room we received lacked basic amenities, and the overall service left much to be desired. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable overall, though there were some noticeable issues. The rooms were clean and cozy, but I encountered a few safety concerns and some dining limitations. The location was convenient, close to the beach, enhancing the overall experience. While it offered good value for money, certain amenities could use improvement.

I had a pretty rough experience at this hotel. The noise levels were unbearable, making it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep. The lack of cleanliness and poor management left much to be desired. On the flip side, the few positive aspects were the nice outdoor area and some upgrade renovations that seemed promising.

The rooms had thin walls which meant I could hear everything from my neighbors, including showers and conversations. It was quite uncomfortable.

I had a mixed experience at this motel. While the rooms are updated and very clean, my interactions with the staff were less than ideal, which made my stay a bit stressful. The location is great for activities and restaurants, and it's a decent place for a family getaway, especially if you're looking for mini-golf and barbecue facilities. Just be prepared for potential service hiccups.
