Great rooms great staff no vacation is perfect but no complaint on my part would have derailed a thing. Staff were helpful 24/7 and willing to help with anything asked. The location was perfect to either sit on the beach or walk a couple blocks to 5th where every store you could want to visit. Used the grill multiple nights as we sat on the rooftop deck to enjoy dinner. I promised that we would be back as I left and looks like I’ll be booking again so expect a follow up review in a couple months!

Such a beautiful, amazing property the employees are so efficient and I honestly couldn’t ask for better in terms of that. I’m not much of a beach goer so this didn’t bother me as much but if you do like going to the beach, I do think this property is probably not the best for that. I just found the beach to be a little bit gross because of the Seaweed and stuff, the staff did let us know ahead of time that it was a situation but overall, it was so good very pet friendly. Everybody is very pleasant. The spa that they recommend is a little bit suspect so just be careful in that aspect of things but other than that, the property itself, the area and the town were very amazing I would come back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful place to stay

Wonderful place to stay, beautiful grounds, amazing pools, friendly and helpful staff. The beach isn't a swimming beach as fishing boats anchor there, but beach and restaurants all walkable. Very quiet at night. Enjoyed the concierge items to use, including sunscreen and bicycles.
