The resort was lovely and all the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was nice but our ocean view looked over the parking lot and I would ask for a “poolside” view next time as that also gives an Ocean view.

Definitely need an upgrade on the refrigerators. We were in two rooms and neither refrigerator was very cold. Also, the AC was not that cold. The lowest the thermostat would go is 67° and there is no way it was 67° in either room… So I suggest better refrigerators and being able to lower the thermostat below 67°.

We had the best room with Lanai looking right out on to Tiki Bar, Restaurant and Pool area with short walk to beach. We enjoyed being able to share amenities with the other resorts as the beach wasn’t great here but three waters was very nice!
