From the moment we arrived, to the time we left the staff was phenomenal! Everyone was so happy and the hotel and the rooms are so clean and nice! We will definitely be back again!
Great property. Very clean, easy to navigate. Friendly staff. I do wish there was a broom available in the room, but overall a fantastic stay. Would stay again.
Great place all around will be back soon we stayed on the older side of the property and was still very nice and clean could use little more work but definitely a nice spot on the beach! All the staff were very friendly and helpful. They could really work on the elevator it was super slow and almost the hottest thing at the entire beach it felt like I was going to pass out in there it was so hot
It was a nice place to stay. A little pricey for what it is but it done the job! Beds comfortable, air conditioning worked well, and that’s about all we used the place for.
Beach view was amazing. The staff was pleasant to speak with and extremely helpful. The only downside was the balcony could probably be renovated along with the a/c unit. I don’t regret the decision at all to stay here, money well spent.
Great Hilton property, right on the Beech with a great pier tiki bar and restaurant. Close to everything. Friendly knowledgeable staff, great service. Large rooms with balcony and ocean view.
What a wonderful staff. So pleasant and thoughtful. The pool was new during my stay; I was not able to use it. It looks as if it is about to open. It also has several other wonderful outdoor game areas for families to enjoy. My room was wonderful, with plenty os space for both of us to store and organize our belongings and keep the room in good shape to enjoy. Comfortable bed and pillows too, and everything we needed. The view was beautiful.
We had an ocean front balcony room that was very nice. It was in very good condition with a small kitchenette. The bathroom was roomy and nice. Front desk was so friendly and helpful very accommodating. We also went to the Tiki bar and restaurant. The food was very good. Over all we had a wonderful stay.
Me and my three children went for spring break and we had a ball! we rented chairs on the beach ate lunch at the tiki bar. The property also had a pool we enjoyed. We also enjoyed the restaurants at the boardwalk and the shops.
This hotel smells SO GOOD!! The pool wasn't available, it was under construction but it was right on the beach and the staff was awesome. The bed was a bit firm for my liking but my back felt better the next morning....go figure, lol. I will absolutely stay here again. It's in walking distance to multiple restaurants. Great location.
Beautiful stay, loved the vibe of the room. And the restaurant on site was amazing!

Property is currently under renovation so there was no lobby upon check in, and a torn up pool. Once it is complete it will be beautiful. It is a great location right on the beach and the staff was wonderful!
