Terrific pools, good size rooms, excellent bathrooms, great views from the partial ocean view king room balcony. Great to have access to the tennis club across the street. On the downside: $50 per night for a rollaway is excessive. 70 per day for valet parking in a remote location is also excessive. And though this is a former St Regis, many areas are dated and frankly shoddy (e.g., all the tile around the main swimming pool and the hot tubs have lost their coating making for extremely sharp edges). Turndown service is late and inconsistent. One time I called to get ice, and was brought ice in 5 minutes, then interrupted with more ice 10 minutes later (despite the privacy light on), then interrupted by a 3rd person with more ice another 15 minutes later. Our final night I had to call for ice and was brought it, then brought a 2nd round 10 minutes later. This is a pretty big communication flaw. And after the first incident I tried to bring this to the attention of the front desk staff and was frankly shocked at the unprofessional manner of the staff person, as well as the manager on duty. No apology and they treated it as if it was my fault? Not possible. So there is work to be done.
