"The staff was great. The food choices seemed very limited. The coffee was excellent from the cafe. When parking was limited Saturday night. I was looking for a valet attendant but couldn’t find one so I had to park to the end. Not a big deal, these I noticed. The room was great and clean."

"This property did not disappoint. We had an ocean view and it was truly spectacular. Drinks in the sunny lobby were just amazing, and the wait staff was so friendly. The room we had was a bit of a splurge, but completely worth it. The view and the luxury of it all will be a memory forever. TY!"
