I had such high hopes for this resort. So pretty. Looked high end. But the staff were very disorganized. Communication was a disaster. Everything was slow. The food was mediocre at best. Took two hour to be served at their restaurant. A lot of waiting time. Very expensive good that was either over cooked or undercooked. Couldn’t get them to fill our shampoo in the shower until I walked out at asked housekeeping in the hall for a bottle of it in my robe. Dusty dirty rooms. Hair ties under the bed. Hair in the corners. Bees nest on the decks. Just not very well managed. The managers tried very hard to accommodate us when we got frustrated with the service and food issues. But, their staff was not good. So things promised didn’t actually happen. I even have to give this resort a 1 star for privacy issues. Even with the do not disturb sign on the door. The housekeeping would try to come in. Sometimes with out knocking. Or wouldn’t give enough time to jump up and stop them. Trying to come in the room at 8:30 in the morning. We even get walked in on when showering. Very disturbing. This happened all week even after we complained.

The front desk staff was pretty rude. And they had the cheapest toilet paper! However, the rest of the staff was wonderful. The grounds and the beach are beautiful and spotless. The resort was clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfortable as were the robes. Lots of near by places to shop and eat. My daughter and I had a wonder vacation stay. We will definitely be coming back!

1. Valet, easy parking. 2. The place was great but the breakfast was really pricey and we just couldn't get our room to get cool. The down comforter was way too hot for a room that seemed to never get below 70. The thermostat said it was actually down to 65 but it had to be incorrect. We keep the temperature at our house at 67. There's no way it was an actual 65° in that room. 3. I knew it was a luxury hotel but we were inquiring about some drinks and some type of candy. I asked if they had any type of vending and the guy to front desk reminding me it was a luxury hotel and they wouldn't allow a vending machine on the property. He come across a little offensive. We travel a lot now that our children are grown and more than likely will never return. 4. There's also a $45 a day resort fee which we were not made aware of. I was not sweating paying the fee, but had no We were paying that till after we left.

Hire more staff
The hotel facilities are excellent and beautiful but they are way understaffed at the restaurants. When we checked in, the room was not ready when it was supposed to be. No apologies or here go get a free drink. The credit card machine kept rejecting my card on check-in and I told them it wasn’t my cards, it was on their end. They told me I needed to call my bank but I could tell it was on their end as there was plenty of credit on those cards and the attempted charge was not even registering. It was only when another guest checking in had the exact same issue that they realized it was on their end but a stressful 10 minutes and again no apology. The staffing at restaurant is biggest issue - seems like they were not ready for prime time.

Is clean property, has 3 different pools, small gym, dinner are okay, but they’re better options out of property. Careful with the bartenders in Horizon bar. Looks romantic in the night. Is few min away from the beach, if you want sand only they’re better options and cheaper. Maybe I can will comeback
