"A comfortable clean hotel with a great location."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We came with our grandkids for the second year in a row. We love the layout of the hotel, access to large grass areas for tossing a football, soccer ball or picnicking. The bay is right there for water craft use or just watching. The swimming pool great for the kids after a beach day. Hot tub is large and perfect temperature. We only had breakfast at the restaurant and it was very tasty. All in all a great experience. We hope to come back.
