I had a pleasant experience at Harbor Light Family Resort, which was generally comfortable and well-located, just one block from the beach. The service was really good, with friendly and accommodating staff that made me feel welcome. However, I did have some concerns about the conditions of my room, which could use some improvements.

I had a surprisingly pleasant stay at Harbor Light Family Resort. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive because our room was listed as 'no view,' but it turned out to be very clean and spacious. While it was slightly dated, it was still comfortable, and I appreciated how close the resort was to the beach, only one block away. Overall, I'd definitely consider returning.

The resort offers a fantastic location just a short walk from the beach, which is a major plus. While our room was clean, it felt quite dated and lacked the amenities you'd hope for. The pool area was enjoyable and well-kept, but not all rooms seem to have the same quality. I appreciated the friendly management, but considering the price, I expected a bit more comfort.

The motel is conveniently located right across from the beach, which is definitely a highlight. However, the room we stayed in was dark and outdated, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. The noise from outside kept us up all night, making our stay less than enjoyable overall. It wasn't worth the $250 we paid for the night.

Our stay at the resort was quite pleasant overall! The rooms were clean but felt a bit outdated. While we enjoyed the nice pools, the lack of a better kitchen setup was a downside.

However, the room I stayed in was quite disappointing; it felt dark and less inviting than I had hoped.

This resort is conveniently located right across from the beach, making it a fantastic choice for beachgoers. The cleanliness is commendable, and the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. However, the room I stayed in was quite dated and not comfortable, which was disappointing given the price. While the amenities like the pool were nice, that alone doesn’t justify the high cost for the quality of the room I experienced.
