It looks amazing from the outside and the lobby is picture worthy The beach has soft sand and the loungers are comfortable but with restricted view of the water due to cabanas being placed in the front row. That being said... The food is too expensive ($22-24 for a two egg omelet, $20 for a cocktail, $8 for a toasted bagel with butter) and not filling. The rooms are small (hard for an adult to fit between the bed and the wall), the beds, although comfortable, had cheap bedding and awful pillows. The bathroom barely fits an adult, the shower hardware was coming off the wall and the water pressure lacked. And the shampoo, I choose to believe they accidentally loaded the bottle with hand soap - otherwise it's the worst shampoo we've ever used. The AC was the most horrendous part of our experience: noisy and not responsive to the thermostat setup. After changing the room once with no better result in the other we had to ask maintenance to pull the plug from the main control in the ceiling to allow us to have a quiet night. And that came with its own set of issues - heavy, stale, humid air (windows are nailed shut). The pool was clean and warm but there was no maintenance of the loungers or the deck. I had to wipe them off sand or water before each use. They have an indoor hot tub in a small room, not fit for purpose so we walked to their other property, 10 minutes away, to enjoy their outdoor one. All in all I wish we went elsewhere for our 8 night vacation.

Remember they are in Hurricane Recovery. So not great stuff first: 3rd Fl Room is dated, dusty bed frame, fridge didn't work, but all good outlets there. No dresser for 2nd person, toilet lid would not stay up. Pink cards wouldn't work. Pool staff oblivious. TG for Hospitality Dir Quinn! Excellent service w/o judgement. Valet req but quick. The prices will seem high but the pools, cocktails, food, and beach are excellent. The gift shop had a salesperson who had been there for 30+. She made our day. Leave it to the gal from Queens, our Brazillian barista, and NJ girl waitstaff. Bless you all. Pink Palace, we will stay again!

The hotel overall is beautiful and luxurious. Staff was enjoyable and courteous. However front desk gave us several different answers to the same question, causing a few hours of drama we don't need or appreciate. The rooms are small but stylish and comfortable. Very loud air conditioning. Also very big weddings and corporate groups hosting here at night. Lobby can be very loud. Inconsistent housekeeping, no service provided on our last full day. But otherwise they came 1 -2 x day. Expedited elevator buttons , so you're not waiting for and elevator, really good idea. Restaurant by pool was average ,Peter our server for breakfast was excellent and friendly. The pool only has one bathroom stall for hundreds of customers, the line was very long at times. Directly on a flat clean beach with chair and umbrellas included in the room rate. Overall upscale, but pricey when you add up all the fees for parking, resort, automatic gratuities and overpriced drinks and restaurants $32.00 + tip for 2 small coffee and 2 Danish. We had a lovely time, but didnt feel this place was worth the cost.
