beautiful hotel

The hotel and amenities were fabulous! We did not expect the beach to be so crowded, so we mainly stayed by the pool. It was really nice, very convenient, and had an amazing view. Couldn't be happier!

Beautiful hotel in a little beachside getaway. Hotel offers a pretty lobby, good restaurants and a nice relaxing stay. We enjoyed the pool, gym, restaurants and bars. The gym was empty most days and had. Nice equipment and very clean. The room was a little well used and not completely as nice as the hotel, it had some wear and tare, but ocean views were great, snack pantry was a nice touch. Sunsets were beautiful! Cons are the parking is pricey, the breakfast restaurant closes too early, poolside drinks were too pricey for their more frat party style (everything has a sprite top off or way too sweet) then handcrafted -lacks sophistication. Opal Sol pool drinks and bar seemed better and better food as well. I think this is a great getaway, we stayed a week, it felt like we ran out of options of new food places, things to do after about day 5. The beach parking lot has a lot of honking and occasional loud music from beach patrons. The ocean waves are not loud enough to block that noise but otherwise it is pretty and peaceful for relaxing stay. Best part of the room was the balcony- nice to sit and watch the ocean and people below. The room was the studio model and felt small after a few days. It has everything but no desk or table only the little table outside on the balcony. We really enjoyed the pelicans and sea birds soaring around the hotel beautiful. We even saw a dolphin! It was not as romantic as the Caribbean but still a nice trip.
