Bad: Minor stuff that was easily addressed by a call to the front desk. In our room phones didn’t work via handsets and maid service plugged the bedside lamps into the non-switched outlet. Great: Everything else was excellent! The entire staff was superb. I Specifically want to single out the spa and beach… SPA: Excellent facility, fantastic amenities, kind helpful staff, my wife and I had an excellent couples massage; can’t say enough about the spa and staff. LIDO BEACH: The Beach Club is 3.3 miles from the hotel, but they have a bus that leaves every hour. It’s one of the best beaches I’ve visited in a long time. The staff was very attentive, food and drinks delivered to your lounge beachside; I could go on but you get the picture. In summation, if you can afford it, you’ll definitely come away relaxed and recharged.

We recently stayed at this property for a milestone event, and unfortunately, there was an incident at the pool involving an intoxicated and disorderly woman. No one from the hotel staff stepped in to address the situation. Several guests were left to try and address the situation on their own, once security was alerted It was an extended period of time until they spoke to her. She was allowed to remain on property and was served more alcohol. There were several other issues during our stay, but my primary concern would be the inconsistency of service and the way that this situation was handled. Security was slow to respond and hesitant to act. I would be very concerned to stay there if there were an actual security issue. The hotel location is very convenient and a beautiful view, but I think there are two other hotels in the area that may be better for your stay.

Extremely noisy room. Very pretty overlooking the marina, we paid for this upgraded room. When I complained about the excessive entertainment noise every night until very late, the staff did not care or make any recommendations to fix it. We spent a lot of money at the restaurants & the gift shops. Very disappointed nothing was done to make our wedding anniversary special.
