I ate at the little dining shop for breakfast every morning- love the staff. They were great. Staff around the hotels was also very helpful. Check in and check out was wonderful. Staff was always smiling helpful The only thing I’m surprised about is outside of the hotel. There wasn’t a lot of shopping. You have to drive out or get an Uber out to shopping areas. But the hotel itself and the beach was wonderful. I would come back again.

The floor that we stayed in smelled of an enclosed area. The room also smelled musty. There were evident mold stain throughout the room, on the curtain, walls, stove, etc.... The carpet felt damp throughout our stay there. We were informed that everything was booked and cannot obtain a room change. We had a power outage for one day, and staff kept prolonging the time of when power would return. My family along with others staying in the hotel were waiting in the lobby, without any other accommodations or updates. To add on, the pool was not accessible and most of the gym equipment was non-functional.

I stayed in ESJ for 10 days with my Husband and 3 kids. I would stay there again if the pool is open (It was under construction) . I went to the beach on site, Laundry & Car washed/Vacuumed. Housekeeping came daily & replaced our towels which i loved. But trying to get the receptionist on the phone was horrible. There's plenty of places to eat around.

The ocean views were spectacular, the broken down roofs and homes around the facility were not. shower handle was defective, could not enjoy a good shower through out our stay. Sheets and pillow cases were smelly, and unit toilet had mold. Management did send someone to properly clean the unit. We went ahead to purchase new sheets and pillow cases anyways. Overall managers and staff were generally polite, follow thru not to great. This facility has great potential to become a great vaccation home away from home. They are not quite there. Facility equipment like elevators was a roll of the dice. Security was adequate. Coffee shop hours of operations was not always convenient, I belive they clised one day thru the weekend. Other dinners were within walking distance.

This Property Is In A Safe Location and Has Many Dining Options Outside of The Hotel Within Walking Distance. The Hotel Needs Some Exterior Structural Updates Do To Being So Close To The Ocean. Aside From This, The Check-in Staff Are Exceptional, House Keeping Staff are Phenomenal and The Security Staff are Sensational. I Have Stayed Here Several Times This Year And Would Stay Here Again If Need Be!!!!!
