The maverick room was amazing, with the jacuzzi, view & all. I was there while a storm was raging, which made the stay even more spectacular. Breakfast-room-service was also Perfect. I can imagine this is a great getaway for couples who want to spend time together.

We had a great time. We were comfortable, warm, and near the ocean. The staff was excellent, and I will come again. The location is fantastic, and it is tranquil. You hear the waves as you sleep.

We were very happy with this hotel--we have stayed in many in the region and this was one of the best for the price, views of the ocean, and swimming pool. Nice restaurants near by. Clean and quiet.
