Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning ocean views and well-maintained grounds, but the rooms had some maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the overall experience pleasant.
The hotel offers a wonderful ocean view from the rooms and boasts a very nice bathroom. However, the overall room atmosphere felt outdated, reminiscent of Grandma's 1990s Florida condo. A room upgrade for our honeymoon would have been appreciated.
I was amazed by the spacious rooms with a luxurious king-size bed, lanai, sitting furniture, and a luxury bathroom at this hotel. The beach service was superb, although the rooms needed some upkeep. We had a whale of a time watching more whales from our balcony than we did on our whale tour.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is wonderful, with beautiful beaches and great proximity to everything. The rooms were comfortable despite some obstruction from tall coconut trees. The service was top-notch, with dedicated and helpful staff. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel's rooms were dated and in desperate need of deep cleaning and maintenance, but the staff's service was fantastic with attentive and knowledgeable assistance. The location was very well maintained and nicely appointed, providing a central setting for exploration. The dining experience used to be fantastic but is now very basic and overpriced. Overall, the facilities revealed ups and downs with well-maintained areas but insufficient cleaning protocols.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were bright and sunny with a lovely lanai facing the pools and garden, but the presence of mildew was a downside throughout our stay. The location was breathtaking, with well-marked paths leading to other attractions, although there were some issues with accommodating requests. The dining experience was a bit pricey, but the succulent steaks made up for it. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs but memorable in many ways.
