Our room was great, as we had one on the newer side. Our family stayed on the older side and did not have the same experience. The breakfast was awful, the food was just not good. However, the place was clean and our room had a beautiful view and a nice balcony,

It was a very nice and relaxing stay. It was very hot and humid, but we found plenty of things to keep us cool and occupied. The location has so many breathtaking views and it is easy to get around by walking or car and easy to explore North Beach as well which is a short drive away. I will come back.

Have stayed here several times and can certainly understand and adjust to the flux when undergoing renovation projects throughout the property even experiencing a 'false alarm' fire alarm at 08:15 in the morning. If one is looking for some solitude and quiet quarters, coupled with balcony views of the Bay, this would be the place to hunker down and enjoy the area.
Family and great food!
Neat photo op!

Huge resort in a small, well kept town! Our room was right on the bay and was clean and nice. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. There is not a place for breakfast but if you go a little further south on the main road, there is a shopping center with a McDonalds (and a CVS and some other things)... We were in a hurry to get home so did not try any of the breakfast places that the desk clerk recommended. The staff guy that checked us in was SUPER nice and helpful!
