7.8/10 Good! (1,002 reviews)

We loved it here! It was so nice and quiet! Such a great staycation! So Family friendly and so much to do. There was a kitchen which was so useful and they were stocked with pots/pans/playes/cups/utensils and even grill amenities. It has a toaster, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Also has a little closet in the hallway with a broom/vacuum/iron/ironboard. The bathroom was pretty big with good water pressure and stocked with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Would definitely recommend! And would definitely stay again I wish check in time was earlier and check out was a little later to enjoy more but we did love the two pools and splash pad. So fun for the kids and us adults!

9/10 Wonderful! (1,057 reviews)

The hotel has been nicely refurbished and the staff is super nice and helpful. They also have their own onsite cafe. It is located in an older area that is outdated and in dire need of road repair. There is also a significant homeless presence. The property is private and secured though and conveniently located right on the beachfront.

Bring a towel or chair and an umbrella. It's easy to lose track of time here.

Tip: wait times at the main gate to check in can be up to 20 minutes or more. Not the most efficient system for admission even when spaces have already been reserved in advance.

There a ice cream place near the 7/11 that’s soooo good. Called sub Zero I believe. Try it if you’re out there.

3/5 - Okay

The weather was cold and overcast so I can't rate this beach fairly, so I'll stay neutral for this trip.

Definitely read the signs for a safe time in the water. Take a jacket, or something warm, if you stay until the sunsets as it gets cool once the sun goes down. Most importantly, enjoy!
