The property was very nice and front desk staff was very friendly. I think when advertising food and beverage service at the beach and pool it should be done. We had a not so friendly encounter upon arriving to the beach for a Cabana the first day, but after the gentleman working hard were very nice. Not once were we asked if we needed anything. I also understand with Covid there is no daily housekeeping, but towels and trash removal should’ve been offered instead of having to ask.

I am so happy that this property was refreshed and saved. It is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. The staff has an excellent attitude and should be proud. Unfortunately, the staff was limited due to the fact that many no longer want to work. We had the best meal of our vacation in Spinners. It was expensive but worth it for the quality and beauty. I wish them many years of success!

Property needed some upgrades to meet a 5 star. Lobby area was nice, elevator looked like a service elevator. Doors to rooms and frames looked very outdated however it looks like many upgrades were completed. Hard to make an old building new.

Wet miss lead to how much construction was still going on resort really shouldn’t have been open yet and who wants to walk 10 blocks to use a sister resorts pool very disappointed staff was all very kind and very apologetic but they should have had too and FYI resort management just put a microwave in the rooms you should have to ask for one in a suite

The property was under construction. They had no pool available had to clean our room and bring our own trash down and get our own toilet paper the restaurant was closed and had no parking for 2 days because of contractors highly disappointed. You could use their other property pool if you wanted to walk 10 blocks, I booked this location for the above amenities and ratings
