Great location, but for the price the hotel can use some love with up keep. AC unit barely worked. Beautiful restaurant sunsets and drinks, pool, activities for the kids and rooms were clean. We loved that we could walk around to the surf and easily store our boards in the balcony.

Woke up with ants on my face

The idea of this trip was a Labor day getaway to relax... During the first night, I felt ants crawling on my face, which woke me up and caused me stress! I asked to be changed to another room; the reaction when I reported the ants made me feel like the staff is not trained to handle any customer service issues. I would say a puzzled look was what I got; they did transfer me to a room on the second floor. (room 132 had the ants) Then a lady showed up at our new room and said she was told of ants in the bathroom- I had to tell her that it was the other room that had ants, and it was not the bathroom; this made me feel like there was a lot of miscommunication going on behind the scenes! The day we were leaving, the restaurant made us wait 30 minutes to get a table. And the pool is small and filled with screaming children horseplaying... Overall, I mostly liked sitting on the balcony looking at the ocean reading my book, but because of the inconveniences, it is not exactly worth the price. I asked for compensation regarding the inconvenience and they took $92 off my stay. FYI !

The hotel is right on the beach, surrounded by restaurants and surf shops that rent gear and lead kayak and snorkel tours. The room was clean if a little dated. The pool and hot tub areas were clean and orderly for relaxing after a day in the ocean.

Great location. Service level needs improvement

Location is amazing. Staff is pretty great. It feels like they’ve underinvested in improving the property. We paid for a beachfront balcony. Problem was that it was constantly dropping water from balcony above us (see image). I told the front desk but they insisted it was only condensation from the air conditioner above me. While it didn’t make sense to me given location of the leaks…in my mind it’s unacceptable to pay this much per night to have water dropping on us from balcony above. It’s a poor excuse at a $800-900/night price point. So we dealt with it. I can name a few other things I didn’t expect… door to room hard to open (told front desk about it as well), they sold us smores kits even though fire pits were about to shut down… Nothing horrible here…. But, in my mind, it is unacceptable at this price point Bottom line, I think the property needs to either 1) change its price point to set expectations lower, or 2) improve their property/service to align to the price point
