Great pool and private beach area! “Delux” room was small and not at all delux. Way overpriced.
Pros:

Beautiful interior and nice pool area.

Cons:

Not enough dining options. Need a more casual cafe on site. The Monarch Restaurant kept us waiting for 30 minutes before they even brought the bread basket. It wasn’t even crowded. Service was not up to par for the price. And my steak was not medium rare- it was over done.

The hotel is beautiful the staff is very friendly & helpful.
Pros:

The history of the hotel. The original beauty of the building & landscape.

Cons:

The room we stayed in didn’t have a shower door or ledge to funnel the water to the drain. The water went all over the bathroom which we mopped up with towels.

Overall, our stay was enjoyable, but the disappointment of not receiving the ocean-view room we specifically booked, com
Pros:

The property was gorgeous

Cons:

What we were most disappointed with was that we specifically booked an ocean-view room and were not provided with the room we reserved. We were told that the manager would be notified when she arrived at 7:00 a.m. and that we needed to email proof of our stay.

When we spoke with the manager, she was extremely kind and professional. She apologized for the situation and offered us a $90 refund, which we appreciated. However, when the refund was processed, my card was actually charged instead of receiving the refund.

Beyond the issue with the incorrect room, I’m frustrated with how the situation was ultimately handled. We paid for an ocean-view experience that we did not receive, and a $90 adjustment is only about 14.3% of what we paid. Considering that a significant part of what we specifically booked and paid for was not provided, I feel the compensation should have been substantially more.

I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciate the manager taking the time to speak with us and apologize. However, I do expect the billing issue to be corrected and believe a more appropriate refund should be considered given that we did not receive the room or experience we originally paid for.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

We really enjoyed the location, the "look" of the hotel, and the staff. We were only in town for one night, so we didn't get a chance to use the full amenities they had available.

Cons:

The pool itself was wonderful, and the people were great as well. I especially enjoyed the music the hotel was playing, which really added to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, there was a small group of guests who brought their own waterproof speaker and played their music so loudly that it completely drowned out the hotel’s music.

Situations like this can be frustrating, especially when guests are trying to enjoy the atmosphere the hotel has intentionally created. It also felt somewhat out of place for the overall quality and atmosphere of the hotel. Perhaps the hotel could consider having a policy regarding personal speakers in the pool area to help maintain the relaxing environment for everyone.
