I loved the view and the pool area and the free chairs on the beach! The only issues was the hot water running out very quickly and the a/c not working the full time other than that I was super happy!

Thank you for your stay and for the kind comments about the view, pool, and complimentary beach chairs—we’re so glad you enjoyed those! We’re sorry to hear about the hot water and A/C concerns, as we didn’t receive any notice during your stay and would have gladly addressed them right away. We’ve since checked both to ensure everything is working properly for future guests. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again!

Excellent location! The resort has everything you need to stay entertained. Our condo was perfect for our visit. Cute, clean and functional. Our hostess was excellent with communication and explaining check in, check out procedures. The lady in the office/gift shop is adorable and very helpful. If you’re looking for a very affordable, clean and convenient place to stay, this is it.

I love to stay at the Salty Turtle rooms. They are always clean and updated with beautiful views. They have a kitchen so if you want to cook you can. The pool is nice and always clean and the beach isn’t far from it. It has free chair rentals so no need to have to bring chairs. The host is always a pleasure to deal with. She is the sweetest and will answer any questions you have.
