This family-owned hotel is housed in a three-story oceanfront building and offers a beach getaway that's popular with families and couples. Guests are greeted in a pleasant, contemporary lobby with a beachy vibe. Dark rattan chairs topped with sea-blue cushions as well as sofas clustered around coffee tables provide seating, while potted plants and flowers add a fresh touch of greenery. Tropical paintings of beach scenes add a dose of color to the white walls and slate-colored furnishings. Though indoor public spaces are limited, there is lots of seating areas dotting the grounds, including garden furniture and padded lounge chairs around the pool. This hotel draws families as well as couples seeking a beach getaway.

The hotel offers a variety of rooms, suites, and villas with pleasant, if bland, decor that includes cheery yellow walls and wooden furniture. Some elements are a bit dated, like cheap, patterned bed skirts or bedspreads paired with matching curtains as well as tube-style TVs in some units. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, electronic safes, mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, plus villas and suites also have full kitchens with granite or tiled countertops and appliances including full stoves and ovens as well as dishwashers, some with stainless-steel finishes. Bathrooms vary, and some contemporary bathrooms have attractive wood square sinks with walk-in showers, while some Villa bathrooms have both showers and whirlpool tubs. Standard Rooms are quite small, but Suites and Villas offer more space. The duplex Oceanfront Villas are directly on the beach and have three bedrooms and three baths, as well as private patios, washers and dryers, and two-car garages. Not every unit has an ocean view.
