We really enjoyed our ocean view. Even thought it rained, the view of the ocean from our room made it feel so calm and peaceful. I really suggested that you do take the splurge and get a room with an ocean and balcony view.

Disliked: Amenities
Property wasn’t as we expected as we’ve stayed there several times before, but this time around many amenities were out of order such as the car charger and jacuzzi. In addition, housekeeping did not come by our hotel room to clean during our two night stay. Hotel seemed understaffed during our stay for several areas.

I would stay again
The Service in Restaurant and housekeeping was honestly amazing. Checking in was a bit weird, the girl was new and just kept repeating herself. She didn't tell me anything I needed to know then got a mgr. Whom I had to wait for her to get done with another customer. All this after I already waiting in line. Then the mgr was great and helped me but never explained the name of the bldg i was in, said she gave me an upgrade. I think that was not accurate. Somehow it got mixed up because I thought I booked an ocean front room and they told me i didn't which alright but they spoke so loud nad kept saying well you booked from a 3rd party. Like they wanted everyone to hear. It was getting me very annoyed. Then I said just give me the room that's fine and the numbers on the outside of the bldg did not coinside with the closest door to my upstairs room. If it wasnt for a man in housekeeping who helped me with my bags I wouldn't have found it for a long time, i was in the whole other bldg. where it said the room number. And theres a door that hardly swings open and there needs to be a sign on it when you walk in because it slams back on you and it could really hurt someone. After that , I honestly had a great stay. I love the location, I love that you're dog friendly and the food and service was fantastic. Even when I called down to get more coffee and cream they came pretty quickly. I wouild stay again. Just please explain things upon checkin. Tell people the bldg Name!

Pricey but a great location.
Excellent location. HUGE property. Almost too big. I was a 5-minute walk from the lobby. It's a little pricey once you get through the resort fee and paid parking.
