“Highly recommend!”

We love this place! We have stayed here numerous times, with the kids and without and have always had a wonderful experience. Staff is helpful and accomodating, especially Greg. We stayed on New Year's Eve and the heater in our room stopped working. When they could not get the heater working, Greg upgraded us to one of the brand new rooms for the night. We will continue to return and look forward to our next stay.

“Excceeded our expectation”

I just wanted to drop a few lines on this reviews about how impressive as a first minute we arrived umtil the last minute we departed. As we were seeking for a quality/peaceful time together with family during a holiday time (Dec.26th to Dec. 30th) we were luckily to come accross this place online in very short time searching. We were *VERY* gratefull for the offer that the staffs had given us more than we expected or the price that we paid for.
My family enjoyed every minutes/second of staying there.
One again, on behave of my family i would like to send out our gratitute for an opportunity of staying at this awesome facility and the spectacular view. We will look forward for another trip in near future again. That said, i would recomemd everyone to this place and ask for Barry the manager there he would help you in every angle of your need to make your staying with a maximun enjoyable.

Thanks so very much again, Barry for helping out.

“Horrible place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

I'm very much doubting Trip Advisor and these reviews. The people who rate this high must have no reference to a quality hotel. This place is a converted 1950's apartment and is not on the beach and there are no views. There is nothing luxury about it. We got there, were horrified and left. Room was musty, small and didn't even have enough seats for our party.
When I made reservation I specifically asked if we could smoke outside. The women said yes as long as slider was closed. We were supposed to be on an upper level. They put us in a room off a courtyard with no balcony and no slider. They kept telling us there was a wedding a half of the property was being used.
They not only charged us the deposit but also kept the 2nd night charge. In my opinion this is theft. Not a way to run a business. Manager is clueless and has no idea how to treat customers..
For a better deal, go a bit further south to The Tamarack which does have ocean views, light airy rooms and is less expensive. Full kitchens too.

Room Tip: Go to another place
