Pros: quiet boutique hotel, swimmable beach, spacious suite, free parking
Cons:
- This was not a 5 star hotel - service was cold and at times it felt like we were annoying the staff if we asked for breakfast or any general questions. When we checked out, instead of asking how our stay was, the front desk clerk told us to wait while they did a security and housekeeping check on our room - I’ve never experienced this and it was an annoying inconvenience.
- We had an ocean view suite for $480/night and several things were broken in the room - the steam shower, the ceiling fan, and the ac unit in the bedroom (they had a wall unit in the living room area but it wasn’t powerful enough to sufficiently cool the bedroom on the other side, which meant we had to sleep in a warm room (temps were 74-99). No apologies or offers to make it right, just a text reply to confirm that yes these items are broken. The toilet flush panel broke as well but at least they fixed this. Overall it seems that they’ve let things go over the years.
- Beach club was an exaggeration - they had about 8 teepees and it was open to the public as well. Luckily we were there during a quiet week, but I imagine these would fill up quickly during busy season.
- No shaded seating by the pool
- Included breakfast was a bit of fruit, tiny store-bought stale muffins and a small scoop of yogurt with a teaspoon of granola.
We had a car so didn’t spend all day there, but they need to make service and amenity improvements.
