Pros:

Location is great. Convenient. Wonderful ocean view, Staff was polite and pleasant

Cons:

Furniture uncomfortable. Supplies minimal - how about coffee mugs? Prices in cafe stopped us eating there. Room feels outdated.

Property was great, property management not so much!
Pros:

Modern, clean, amenities, great pool and hot tub!

Cons:

Lack of flexibility. No late check out, even
though initially requested the previous day and was told to check back early on checkout morning, which I did.

Not even allowed to use pool for an hour or so area after checkout at 11 am, even though they have shower and changing facilities separate from guest rooms. Also, had to immediately remove car from the property. These two denials
have no basis in logic as new guests cannot check in until 4pm.

Unfortunately, these things soured an otherwise perfect stay.

Pros:

Great view from our ocean front room and rooms were clean. The roof top area was great as well watching the sunset, the staff was great too. Had a issue with the hair dryer and staff gave us a new one. And our key card wouldn't work one night and the staff had maintenance up there in less than 5 mins too make sure it was good after some fresh batterys.

Cons:

Shared baclony on the rooms facing ocean still not bad, the in wall ac unit is noisy even on low but works great. Lights outside room are bright but room had a sliding curtain that we used too block off the kitchenette, limited kitchen ware as expected we brought some of our own stuff.

Pros:

Josh at the front desk was amazing. The hotel overall was very nice.

Cons:

The balconies where we were at wede riddled with chronic smokers. Designated smoking areas could help reduce the smoke in others rooms -- maybe we were on the smokers side 😆. Also, the roof needs some repair on things like bent up boards.

Great hotel but probably wouldn’t come back bc of the cold pool
Pros:

Very very clean !! They take pride in the up keep of the place !! Great location. Nice pool area and hot tub . Hammock area on roof

Cons:

The pool was advertised as heated but it’s was freezing. My kids didn’t even want to be in it , it was that bad. I even asked for the temperature to be turned up but you can tell it wasnt. So it’s upsetting we didn’t get to enjoy the pool.

Perfect
Pros:

This is the second time I’ve stayed at this hotel, and what I like most is its great location; the staff doesn't hover over us constantly with a bunch of rules—they truly let us feel at ease.

Cons:

the fact that the bathrooms aren't bigger
