Description: Our hotel was wonderful, and I will defiantly stay there on my next trip. It is one of only a few hotels in the area, and it is directly on the beach. The parking lot is between the highway, and hotel and then the six-story hotel and then the pool and then beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful the entire time we were at the hotel. We arrived around 2pm and were allowed to go ahead and check in since there were rooms available. Check-in time is normally 4pm. The hotel has two elevators, one just past the check-in desk in the front of the hotel and one toward the back of the hotel that we used when going to the beach. There were a few times during the day when the elevators would be pretty busy and you would have to wait a little while. Our room was not an oceanfront room, but we had a small side view of the beach from our balcony.
Our room was very nice and clean. It had a king-size bed and a sofa bed. We have a table with two chairs, two nightstands, a nice-sized TV with many channel choices, and an armor with three drawers for clothes. There was also a closet with a suitcase holder, iron and ironing board, and a full-length mirror. The room had a microwave and small refrigerator. The bathroom was very spacious with a large vanity and sink, and the tub was just a regular tub but larger than many I have had in hotels. The showerhead was really nice and had an extended curtain rod for extra elbow room. The air was a little hard to keep adjusted to a comfortable temperature.
The breakfast area was on the first floor and very nice. There was plenty of seating and high chairs available. They had trays if you wanted to take your food back to your room. The breakfast was free and included coffee, orange juice, apple juice, milk, and water for drinks. The food was eggs, waffles, toast, muffins, cinnamon rolls, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, oranges, applies, and bananas.
The pool area was fantastic. It had two areas that were separated by a wall, with water falling from that area to the pool area below it. The first pool area just gradually got deeper, so it was great for the small kids; it also had water shooting up in four spots when you first enter the pool. The other pool had the waterfall going into it to and also had a hot tub right beside it. There were numerous chairs and a few umbrellas. The hotel furnished pool towels. There was a bar area there, but it only served drinks, no food. Right past the pool was the beautiful white-sand beach and then the Gulf of Mexico.
