I was quite disappointed with my stay, especially given the high price. The location is picturesque with stunning ocean views, but the hotel seems to be losing its charm with neglect in cleanliness and service. While the spacious rooms were a plus, the overall upkeep left much to be desired.

I recently stayed at Pier South Resort, and while the ocean views from our room were stunning and the location was ideal for a beach getaway, we faced some significant letdowns regarding amenities.

I had a lovely experience at this beachside hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, and I truly enjoyed the gorgeous sunset views from my room. However, some maintenance issues in the room and the limited breakfast options were a bit of a letdown. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxing getaway with reasonable prices for what you get, but some upgrades could elevate the experience even further.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated right on the beach. The views from my oceanfront room were breathtaking, and the space was quite generous. While the service was attentive, the dining experience had room for improvement, particularly with some options feeling mediocre. The pool area was a great spot to relax, but the hotel does have some dated aspects that could use a refresh, especially for the price point.
