The hotel has a beautiful location right by the water, which was a major plus for my stay. Unfortunately, the room conditions were disappointing; they were not as clean as I hoped and had a musty smell. While the staff handled check-in efficiently, the overall ambiance felt outdated. I appreciated the great access to the beach, but I would reconsider staying here again due to the cleanliness issues.

The room had a strong musty smell, and while it was clean, the general age of the place was apparent. The bed was advertised as a queen, but it turned out to be an uncomfortable double.

Check-in was quick and efficient, but there was no acknowledgment of my concerns about the bed during check-out.

I had a disappointing experience at Beachfront Resort. While the beach and the restaurant were nice, several issues with the service and amenities really detracted from our stay. The lack of hot water and proper lighting at night were major concerns, especially for my elderly parents. Overall, I expected more for the price we paid.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was right on the water with beautiful views, and the nearby restaurant was a nice touch. However, the room left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort, with some maintenance issues. It’s a decent option for a quick stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer visit due to the overall condition of the accommodations.

We had a frustrating experience at Beachfront Resort due to several issues, despite enjoying the beach and restaurant. The room was poorly managed with missing essentials and a lack of hot water, which overshadowed the positives. We were also disappointed that advertised amenities were not available, and the inadequate lighting around the property posed a safety concern.
