Tropical Beach Resorts
Great location on beach with convenient lounge chairs and umbrellas. Kids also loved the new pool. Many restaurants within walking distance but they get crowded. Our 2nd visit there and will be back in future.

Lido Beach Resort
I stayed in the motel section, as it was the only room available and it was very clean and nice modern elevated style. The Drift Kotchen and bar is beautiful with great views. The service was very good all around.
