Nice hotel though dining room and spa weren’t as high a standard as the rooms. Between all the resort fees and daily valet charge, cost really added up. Probably places as nice or nicer are available in the area

Expensive but we made it work

Hmm it as a beautiful resort but I couldn’t get a pool chair they were all full 1 I sighed yo for the key buffet but was instead presented with the three course meal which cost over 300 for two people - the pool service including Karen and Jacob were super sweet! I’d stay away from the pool chairs near the cornhole cuz that was super loud thunk all afternoon long - I loved our room on floor 8 great view great sized balcony bedroom and bathroom but no towel or trash changes daily - that was not cool - convenient to beach and sunset festivals, shops and a wide array of restaurants - bell staff was also super nice! No concierge even though there’s a desk for one - for this caliber of a resort I would expect one! Love the free waters and fruit on every floor

Love that it was walkable to almost everything. Beach and pool were right there. Wish there was another dining option indoors that was more family friendly and not so expensive and/or a gift shop that sold more food options for grab and go. Overall, highly recommend this property!

It's true that the price of lodging seems to have increased exponentially in the past few years. Yet, for $500 a night (when you include the mandatory valet parking and resort fee and with an expedia discount on the room rate), it just seems hard to justify the price we paid, particularly given the active construction site next door (presumably part of the hotel?) where work began - on a Friday in a beach town 5 days from Christmas - at 7am, really undermining an otherwise nice view of the beach on the morning after our wedding. I will see that the walls are *very* thick for a hotel, and we heard nothing from inside. Also the complementary bathrobes were luxurious. However, I think this hotel should realistically have cost more than $300 a night with parking and resort fee, and I would have appreciated a heads up about the construction.
