My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location is fantastic, just half a block from the beach, and I enjoyed the evening wine and cheese hour, the overall condition of the room left much to be desired. The room I was in had several maintenance issues and could use a thorough upgrade to match the beautiful surroundings. It's a great spot for a relaxing getaway, but the value doesn't quite match the price considering the state of the accommodations.

This hotel has a stunning aesthetic with beautiful architecture and a lovely ambiance. However, the service leaves much to be desired, particularly with long wait times at the front desk. The room conditions were also disappointing, with cleanliness issues that need addressing. While the location is a definite plus, just steps from the beach, the overall experience was marred by several inconveniences.

Our stay had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic with charming ambiance and a lovely pool area, the service fell short at times due to understaffing. The complimentary offer for a future stay was a nice touch, but the overall experience was marred by significant construction work and lack of basic amenities during our visit.

The front desk staff, particularly Wade, went above and beyond to accommodate us despite the ongoing renovations, but overall service was occasionally lacking due to the hotel's operational challenges.

I had a great time staying at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach, making it super convenient for fun under the sun. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view, which I loved. However, the breakfast options were a bit lacking, and I did find some areas that could use a bit more attention when it comes to cleanliness. Overall, it’s a nice getaway spot, just not without a few bumps along the way.
