We loved the property and the room. Room service was disappointing though. No mugs for coffee, just paper, and the order was incorrect. A lot of money for coffee we could have just gone into the lobby to get. Room service isn't what it used to be, but it's just (or more) as expensive.

The property is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the size of the room and balcony overlooking the ocean. The hotel staff was amazing and the restaurant food and staff was incredible. Everything was perfect! I'm looking forward to returning in the near future!

I appreciated the call and the text before I arrived and that they checked with us through text after our first day. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The hotel was lovely.

We had an evacuation due to something contaminating the air and people were coughing. It’s was awful. The room was just ok; and dinner was ruined by fire trucks investigating the air issue. No refunds or discounts were offered.
