"The aesthetic is beautiful but after checking in, the spa could use some updating.. The adult pool had undies on the floor, bandaids on the pool floor. Just felt more attention to detail would make this 5 star… a pool attendant and small bar in the adult area would be amazing instead of QR code"

"Wonderful stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. Although construction was going on the hotel was clean and relatively quiet. The staff always greeted us daily and was very helpful. A welcome basket made our stay so special. Walkable to the shore made it a great place to relax."

10/10 Excellent
"A truly excellent property and staff. Meal at Mustang last night was the best I've had anywhere in the past year. Rooms are up to date, spotless and nicely decorated. Can't say enough good things about this place, the staff and the food. Light years better than our stay at the Coronado Inn earlier this week. Will come back."
