Great Family Get-A-Way
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/3/07
Beautiful view, located right on the beach, easy access to ocean/pool. Comfy beds & soft pillows! Clean rooms! Staff was friendly, always offered a smile and help. Children's afternoon programs were GREAT! We loved Nonie's Animal Show! Entire facility was well kept and clean. The front lobby was in the middle of remodeling - but not a distraction / inconvenience other than having to enter from the side door. Food in the restaurant was okay. Beachside Grille was great for afternoon snacks/lunch - server would come right out to the beach for your orders. Rental guys, Landen & Seth were very friendly & helpful with umbrellas, body boards, etc.
Only complaint parking.
Beach was gorgeous, clear waters. A few small, dead fish washed up on the shore (not hotel's fault), but umbrella guys kept them cleaned up for us!
Gulfarium was next door. Nothing on the other side, so we had lots of beach on either side of us. Boardwalk within walking distance.
We will definitely visit again someday!
