    Great location, well maintained grounds, good attention to detail Bed was too hard for my taste but that’s personal. There was some construction but it was an adjacent hotel, not their fault, Sargassum on beach took out beach fun for a few days.

    The property was very clean. It offered a lot of amenities. They had beach chairs and bikes you could borrow. Being right next to the beach and close to restaurants was really nice. The elevator was a little different in the room.

    I'm not sure if it's because the staff at the front desk wasn't well-informed, or if there just isn't a lot to do there, but when we had weather that wasn't great for the beach, there was really nothing else to do in the area. There are a few shops and restaurants in walking distance, and the bikes are great, but I was hoping for kayaking, fun tours, etc., but there wasn't anything from the hotel.

    The best part was being located on the beach. The kitchen was well-appointed and property amenities make it so we didn't have to pack a lot of extra things.

    Property was wonderful! They have laundry on site, bikes, books in the office & chairs/sand tools to borrow. Location was perfect just a block from a strip of restaurants and stores. They also have a little cart that will drop you off if you need! Staff were so sweet, room was clean & quiet.

    Fantastic location! Two lovely pool Areas and plenty of seating. The tv’s are very difficult to work and they are not ‘smart tv’s’ so you can only watch a few cable channels, which was really I convenient on the rainy days. The elevator in our room was a little quirky but once we figured it out it was fine.

    Close to town to walk, the pool was clean with plenty of chairs and room to sit and be comfortable. The beach was right outside the gate with plenty of chairs to use. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Nothing, everything was great.

    That staff here are so kind and welcoming, the option of two different pools or being beach front is wonderful! Along with the prime location, just minutes to many dining options.

    The location on the beach couldn't be more perfect. The beach chairs (and umbrellas if requested) were top of the line quality. The ocean front pool and pool area were kept very clean. Staff was great! I found the location of the designated smoking area in our building odd (I am a smoker). It was in the front of the hotel next to the office and elevator. Why? I would have preferred it to be near the back somewhere as I assume would the many nonsmokers passing by.

    I've been going to the Windjammer for the last four years and I love it there. It's family friendly, the beach is steps away. The staff is great.
