Nice place to stay after our cruise to relax.
Pros:

the view was excellent looking at the beach. the Hotel was clean and quiet. we arranged an early check in which was great since we came right after a cruise and needed a place to be.

Cons:

The infrastructure was a bit worn but it was nostalgic with hotels of the era.

Pros:

Our honeymoon at this hotel was amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were treated so well, and we want to mention Andrea at the front desk, who was very kind and always helped us with everything. The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend it. Andy was very kind to us.

Very relaxing and beautifully situated
Pros:

Beautiful room. Beautiful location.
Fun pool for kids and adults to share. Good food. Nice happy hour.
Good staff.

Cons:

Need more staff. Not managers.
More information or connections to area activities would help. A deal with a bike shop or kayak rental etc at present the focus appears to be on cruise passengers

Exceptional customer service
Pros:

I would like to just give a huge shout out Peta at the front desk. My son and daughter-in-law are celebrating their 10th anniversary. First time they've been away since the birth of their four sons.
She was able to accommodate them an early check-in with the storm blowing in So impressed with her professionalism andservice thanks again Peta.
Just checked in with my son and daughter-in-law they're over the moon with their accommodations . Thanks for making the beginning of their little getaway memorable.
Regards, Roz Petrasso
