I’ve stayed here 3 times because it’s the perfect location and price. You get what you pay for with the rooms. I’ll always recommend this place.

My room was dated and I had difficulty opening the main door with the key several times and also the back door to the gulf view balcony. I was not able to leave the window open on the balcony either because it wouldn't stay open on its own.
I had a few uncomfortable moments of having to walk past a group of people hanging outside of their rooms and very close to my room since I was staying by myself.

Property shows it’s age and is in need of some tlc. Staff was over the top in service. On the beach w direct access from the property. Restaurant and lounge were great, and priced reasonably.

You had the nicest sweetest lady working in your restaurant. I can't think of her name. From Jamaica and had hair with lots of little braids. She made our day.
Your hamburgers are some of the best we have ever eaten.! Your food was all delicious and served in style! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pros: beach, pool, staff, shuttle to circle, bottled water availability everywhere.
Cons: rooms are in bad shape, especially the bathrooms (toilets are really low, vanity and tub are badly patched up, door jambs are badly chipped).

Rooms need to be renovated. But staff is friendly, food is good and pool areas are ok. Location in the beach is ideal. Free shuttle to St. Armand’s Circle is a plus.

The location was excellent. Our first room had bugs under the refrigerator and the staff was very helpful with upgrading us for a fee. The second room 368 the front door did not lock but we were able to chain it at night. The view from that room was amazing beautiful beach and sunsets. Thank you!!

The property is well taken care of, friendly staff, and the meals from their restaurant were delicious. The room was clean as well as the pool. They have someone take all the lounge chairs and umbrellas to the beach. They have bottled water to drink and beach towels out by the pool to use. Very nice place!!!!
