This hotel is a dream… the staff are so nice , the restaurant in the hotel is one of the best we been lately, make sure to reserve your dinner.

It was well kept and decorated. Staff was decent. I didn't like my 9 year old daughter finding a live outlet without a cover on it, and almost getting electrocuted. I also didn't care for the thermostat resetting every time I opened the sliding door for the patio.

We stayed 5 nights for our Honeymoon and LOVED it. Everyone was so incredibly welcoming, answered all our questions. The room was spectacular and a bellhop brings up your luggage up. The beach is an easy walk from the hotel. The pool is heated all the time plus a hot tub that is great in size. The restaurant in the hotel was out of this world. We had our fancy dinner here and were pleasantly pleased with dinner. Other fun places near by easy walking distance. We also did putt putt, burgers, ice cream, outside games, and the BEACH!!!!!

We spent five days at the resort. We had an absolutely amazing time. The staff was so attentive and helpful. Our room was kept clean, there were movie events for kids with snacks and refreshments. We are already planning another trip in 2024 to the same spot!

The room was very comfortable. The view of the Gulf from the balcony was breathtaking. All the staff were friendly and beach is a 2 minute walk and the hotel is very conveniently located very close to all the restaurants and shops nearby. The Italian restaurant in the lobby was great too. I highly recommend the place.

No TV remote control in the room. No one answered the phone (all dept) after 11:30 Certain area in the bathroom not well cleaned. Shower faucet is very complicated to operate.

Fabulous hotel, super friendly staff and amazing position right on the beach. I’ve stayed here before and can honestly say it’s the best hotel on the beach. Good is gorgeous and everything was just perfect.

They are building a new hotel wing across the street and the construction noise is terrible!

As the title says, this is a great hotel. Let’s break it down by pros/cons. Pros Amazing views Comfortable beds Soft sheets / linens Decent food Great wine selection Super clean in common areas Great Spa Cons Food was a little over priced with the food meeting a solid 3.5 in my eyes. While the room was clean it did have a few small things, damage in side of bathroom base boards(missing trim), bathroom near toilet had some small wall damage. Shower could use a nice regrout as it had some discolored areas could have due to the construction. The biggest issue we ran into with the room is it must have had some old air filters in it or prior mold. Both my spouse and I were congested, her asthma was really bothering her. She needed her inhaler multiple times throughout the night. We are from Florida and we are use to SWFL / SEFL weather. I rarely get any sort of congestion but I definitely got a sinus headache the 2nd night. The food pantry, this is a joke. You get “fresh fruit” first thing in the AM on each floor but if you’re not there at the time they load it you will be stuck with green bananas and unripe oranges by 9:00 AM and breakfast granola bars. They did have unlimited bottles of water which was nice. However for the cost of the hotel they could include fresh juices and hot coffee bar(units did have Nespressos, but 2 creamers and 2 sugars per serving, coffee was very good and bold, however no tea) and make sure the pantry’s stay stocked with other items.
