I come here with my hubby & sons every year. They still love coming with us even now that they are adult men. We enjoy how friendly the staff is. Plus the people who clean the rooms. Rooms are always clean. Plus right across from the beach. Plus a very nice pool on the premises. We enjoy that there is alot of things here to do. Miniature golf the Greyhouse Poker Palace. Some great places to eat as well.

We stayed in a suite a block away from the beach. Beach tags were provided, which was a nice perk. The location was a long walk from Stone Harbor’s main drag but driving there or to Avalon is no problem. The room was clean, service was fine. The main concerns were with the bathroom, which had no towel bar or grab bar.
