BEWARE of hidden fees and surcharges on your bill. Travelocity doesn’t disclose properly up front either. Great location. Slightly dated building. Service and food was just okay. Pool was nice. Crowded. Food and Beverage manager was very attentive to customers. Kudos to her. Walkable to downtown Newport.

I rented a cabana all day and the front desk was suppose to call me or text me when my room was ready. They never did!! Property smelled musty and old. Marielle and our server at the pool/cabana were very sweet and friendly!

I property was advertise as pet friendly, but when I went to the restaurant for dinner, first they asked me to seat outside, then they said customers are complaining because my puppy barked at another puppy. So is it really pet friendly? I stayed their 3.5 days and I did room services for all my meals. Because I didn't want to be inconvenience for the guest. The facility is definitely not pet friendly. Please don't advertise as such. We pay a big money to come to vacation, where we can relax and have my pet with me. No one want to be humiliated in front of other. If i know, i would not reserve the facility/would have choose to come without my pet.
