Bayview was blissful!

This was the best time of year to go to RP. Right after school starts, middle of the week.. the island was so peaceful. Pay for the bayview side stay... the serene view & stellar weather was priceless. Most comfy bed too! Lovely jacuzzi and pool. Sadly, just skip their Happy Hour though & go down to Latitude 28'02'... they've been amazing for so many years! Excellent HH! The breakfast was fine. It wasn't anything special, but it had your basics you'd find at most continental breakfasts. (I honestly was expecting a bit more.) I'll be back... for sure. Again, it's all about the bayview!! That was pure bliss for my soul!!

It’s a nice property. But it’s under new management and their policies are terrible. I got there at 1 PM and asked if my room was ready and could I check in. The room was ready but they wanted $20 to check in early? I’m not sure whether expenses were at. but I didn’t think it was reasonable. My buddy came in at Tuesday morning at 3 AM. Wanted a room for a few hours. He was willing to pay full rate, obviously. But, they told him it was a holiday day weekend and they had a minimum two night stay. We’re talking about Monday night/Tuesday morning not Friday before the holiday! They cost themselves a full night stay rate. Plus they nickel and dimed me, and I won’t go back.

We've stayed here before and that's why we chose to stay again, but this time wasn't as nice.(1) We were told the restaurant closed at 9:00, we showed up at 7:20 and was told we would need to hurry because they were closing early. We like staying here because of the dining onsite. (2) The room wasn't that clean, water standing on the bathroom counter and dripping on to the toilet paper, trash on the floor under TV in the bedroom and candy and wrappers under the bedside table in the bedroom.
