Exorbitant prices not warranted for off season

There for a wedding, accommodations did not warrant exorbitant pricing. Will not return at these prices, only stayed here due to onsite wedding but never again.

Fabulous stay for a girls weekend! The only reason for giving a four for service was the cleaning staff never serviced our room after night one. We had to call the front desk for towel service.

Exceptional hotel

We typically stay at their sister property next door but our first time at the Icona Windrift was an exceptional experience. The room & restaurants were amazing and the staff were courteous and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

Painless vacation- so many options for dining and drinks at Windrift and iCONA next door- or just take the shuttle someplace. Pool/beach towels are very weak. Food was excellent but shame on the chefs for allowing those incredibly stale chips to drag down the quality of burgers and sandwiches. Just tast one once in a while- your Mom would be embarrassed! Mahi Mahi portion was minute, but clams on 1/2 were great. Entertainment was varied and consistently good for its type.
