You need to make it VERY CLEAR when booking the hotel that the minimum age is 21. On the Hotels.com app it's buried under "special check-in instructions" Turning up to be told you are not able to stay is not a nice experience. We have also stayed as a family here and the breakfast isa hit or a miss. It seems to be acceptable to say, "sorry there's no milk today?" or "the pancake machine is broken." When you are paying a premium for breakfast as part of your room, having basics like milk is expected.

Only stated one night, due to us flying in late at night. The room was comfortable and it fit our family of 5. The kids enjoyed the pool in the morning. It also had a very nice breakfast.

Free breakfast, no resort fees. Parking is inexpensive. Walkable to beach with kids. Provided full-size shampoo conditioner and body soap in room.

Parking stalls are a bit tight if you have a full sized vehicle. They weren’t fully booked because of renovations on the 3rd floor, so we were lucky I suppose. There were a lot of stalls available during our stay. Overall it was a nice stay. My family and I loved the continental breakfast in the mornings. And the staff were friendly. I would stay here again when I visit next time.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful! My family of 8 had our flight canceled without notice, so were very stressed about having to find a hotel for the night. The staff did everything they could for us and made us feel at ease. I really appreciate their kindness in a difficult situation.

I loved the friendly staff. My kids loved that they had pool toys and floating toys to play on. It was in a great location to walk into the village.

I booked a room for 2 adults and 3 children. The room was to have two beds and a pull out couch. The Hotel also offers free rollaway cots. After flying in from Toronto and being up 24hrs I was told the room had only 2 beds and there were no cots. I had to sleep on the floor. The staff are friendly, and provided comforters for me to sleep on, but I am really disappointed - and tired.

While showering electricity went out and you could hear kids running around upstairs late at nite. It would be helpful to add floor mat or I guess we can put a towelshower floor since it gets slippery for elderly

We selected a room with 2 queen beds and 1 pull out couch for 6 people. When we got to the hotel we were given a room with only 2 queen beds and there was nothing to be done about it. They gave us bedding and two family members literally slept on the floor because of a miscommunication between this hotel and Expedia. We were extremely angry to say the least. We had the choice of dozens of hotel and chose this one because of the pull out couch. We would never stay at this hotel again. Such poor service. Also, I emailed the manager about the incident and I have never heard back from him. That is especially rude and terrible customer service.
