Loved the pool and park area. My puppy had a great time running around in the grass. Clean room. Loved that it was all tile/hardwood as carpet typically feels dirty in other hotels. Great ambience!

Kim and Jerry, Feb 2018
Pros (+) Great hottub and pool area with 2 restaurants on the premises, the Reef historic tiki bar and greek place. Laid back nostalgic vibe. Rooms nice enough and large...a bit outdated but more than functional.
Cons (-) Bed could have been more comfortable...a little too soft. Excellent cleaning staff...very clean and well maintained property.
