Not a Luxury Resort

We went expecting a nice resort like atmosphere but instead got a Travel Lodge business motel vibe. The grounds are pretty but the only view is from the restaurant. That and the lobby are somewhat updated- not luxurious but at least newer looking. The rooms are awful- dated ugly firniture, thin sheets, threadbare towels, no reception, unprotected wifi. The "View Suite with Patio" was a joke- the view was of the driveway and the patio was a tiny concrete pad with two plastic chairs- no privacy, right off the driveway with cars driving by. The pool was unheated, no food or drink. Spa was closed. The food in the restaurant was ok- nothing special at all but at least that one spot had a nice view and some live music. Service was fine- check-in and waiters were friendly and competent. It's far from town and you can't walk to anything, which would be fine if it had everything you needed but it doesn't.

The rooms are outdated, need some repair and to fix the repair jobs that were done terribly such as patch and paint. we saw lots of paint patches all over the room, instead it should have been painted completely to make it smooth and nice. Furniture has no theme, because it's all over the place from photos of santa cruz, to a ruler coat hangar (yes, looks like a ruler, but with hooks coming out). Overpriced everything from cocktails to parking (20$ a day!!). They leave out that if you're 55 plus, you can receive discount on your room, plus a credit for dining. I am 57, and I wasn't offered anything. I was robbed if you ask me. Never ever going back!!

The grounds were beautiful. We were able to check in our room right away. I was a VIP so I received a free bottle of wine. That was ready right at check-in. However, I was a little disappointed that I wasn’t given an option of red or white wine. I’m not a red wine drinker and they only had red wine. So it was a waste. We ate at The View restaurant and the service was a damper. It took about 30 minutes for someone to take our order after I had to speak with someone. They blamed it on a communication error. On the other hand, the food and the views were good. The room was nice and spacious and gave a lot of pillows which I liked. The swimming area was nice and clean. Great location to the boardwalk. Overall me and my family loved it and will be back.

The resort is nice, has nice amenities but the service is lacking. The AC did NOT work in our room 1002. It made for an uncomfortable night sleep, very stuffy room. Both days we arrived at the pool no towels were stocked. I had to wait in line at least 15 minutes for a cocktail at the pool.

It’s a good place, with a few. Rough edges. I realized too late that I never got my welcome bottle of wine. I also hiked all the way down to the lobby for complimentary coffee, but there seemed to be none one of the days. Other than that, the rooms are nice. The pool, pool bar, fire pits and movies by the pool are fun. There are quite a few hikable trails and wildlife around.

Our room was not ready until 2.5 hours after we arrived. We had to wait around until the room was ready. We didn't want to open our suitcases in the car to change into our swimsuits. We finally get to our suite and we hear an annoying buz sound and the floor in the room was continuously shaking all night and morning. We met other family members that were from out of town. I am vacationing here from Indiana. I'm disappointed that all the hold up did take away from the short amount of time for our family reunion time.

Room was great. Restaurant was slow (it was busy, but people that were sat after us got their food before us and my food was cold - like it had sat for a while before it was brought out). Also, we ordered drinks - ONLY SHOTS- and it took about 15 minutes for them to arrive. Also asked for coffee in the morning and it never arrived. Also-snacks for sale at the gym should be healthier (seriously-chips?)
