Pros:

The staff were incredibly patient and helpful despite how very busy they were. They all took time to try to accommodate a lot of my last minute changes and needs. The accommodations were as advertised, and totally delightful. The pool and cabana were wonderful as were the waitstaff.

Beautiful hotel will stay again
Pros:

Roof top bar. 360 views one side beach the other NYC Skyline. The pool area, the staff, overall beautiful hotel

Cons:

The TV was in a weird place in our room. The weather was bad our first day so we would have liked to be comfortable while watching a movie. The shower was a little hard to figure out.

Cons:

Careful of these people, they overcharge the hell ourt of you. They charged me nearly $1000 more. The one evening I forgot my card at the table as well and the waitress charged me double what I wrote down. Pathetic

Cons:

Die Rezeptionsdame war unglaublich unfreundlich. Wir müssten vor Ort noch 55 Dollar zahlen, obwohl wir vorher mehrfach gefragt haben, was alles bereits bezahlt wurde. Sie war genervt und hat gesagt, dass alles umsonst ist und bereits bezahlt. Bei Check out will sie dann doch plötzlich 55 Dollar.

5-Star Staff!!!
Pros:

I have NEVER slept on a "foreign" bed & woken up without being stiff & sore! The staff were top-notch! We went for a wedding (5/29-5/31) & Niecey was kind enough to show me what I can eat that was gluten-free & vegetarian at the rehearsal dinner/cocktail party the night before. I was served a delicious glute-free pasta with a nice, chunky marinara & cauliflower steak. I'm not really into cauliflower, but this was so good, I was happy to have it at the wedding too! Tara was serving our table at the wedding & she was equally as fantastic! My only thing is I wish there was a gluten-free option for dessert. I'm not expecting cookies or cake, but fruit can be quite a pleaser (great for vegans & diabetics (berries, especially) too). Overall, nice atmosphere, clean rooms, wonderful employees...probably the best experience I have had at a hotel! Give Niecey & Tara a raise!

Disappointing
Pros:

Close to ferry. Friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

Area around the hotel really not nice, pool/spa facilities were poor - no changing areas or gym. Very noisy at the weekend - full of non guests

Not much bang for the buck.
Pros:

The least luxurious stay for tricky lux pricing. Some add-on $55 per day fee gets you glass of wine at check-in and a cup of coffee in the morning - if you ask. The spa lounge is lovely; can't speak for the services. The hotel room was so tight you could barely walk between the beds. No closet for your clothes, just a few hooks on the wall and underbed drawers that were impossible to open. We had to ask help from a housekeeper who gave the drawer a very hard , loud kick to get it open. We had to stick something on the side (at her suggestion) to keep it from closing again. The restaurant adjacent - Maggie's - is attractive and comfortable, with good food and excellent servers. The bakery/coffee shop is ok for takeout coffee/sweets. Nice short walk to the beach, which is lovely.

Pros:

Bequeme Betten, geheizter Pool, Aussicht. Essen im Poolhaus (teuer aber gut).

Cons:

Je nach Windrichtun, erbärmlich stinkende Kläranlage!
