There is no room service and limited dining times. If you are on the first floor, your view of the ocean is blocked by a green fence. If you are on the first floor, some of the rooms are located right under the bar so you’ll hear chairs scrapping until the bar closes. The front desk staff are friendly, but if you want a bell hop to help you you’ll have to talk fast or they will just leave.

The front door to the room was broken. The bathrooms are way to small. The staff is new and might not have enough training. Food is overpriced for the quality you get. Check in staff was above average. The house keeping was above average. The maintenance guys are not very experienced.

Staff was great, knowledgeable, helpful. Very clean room. I was not a fan of the type of coffee maker that was offered in the room it made little espresso and not an actual cup of coffee but that’s personal preference. Also the door to the bathroom opened inward, which was a little awkward because the restroom is really small so you actually had to step to the side of the toilet so that you could shut the door. The view was amazing and private hotel access to the beach was awesome. Had a high table with a couple of seats right outside our door. We were on the ground floor. Also there were fire tables and we were given a complementary kit to make s’mores so I thought that was really cute. There were QR codes on the tables outside for us to scan an order which we did got a charcuterie board. What’s according to the listing should’ve came with walnuts and olives, which were missing from mine no big deal maybe they were just out. But I feel like there should’ve been a little bit of a price adjustment or something substituted on the plate for it. Also ordered their house chips. They were like a barbecue flavor very well seasoned and crispy. They offer a pool hot tub. There are also saunas a gym and E bikes available that came with a complementary to our time limit. We were also given two glasses of complementary wine, which I thought was a nice touch. I like my wine. All in all, I would definitely stay here again.
