It is a nice property, but our stopper in the tub wouldn’t close. Our room was on the first floor and the people above were walking around at 2 am and woke us up. Lots of doors slamming as well. The room was okay, had low ceilings and felt cavernous.

The property had everything we needed for our stay as a family. The rooms are ok but not every room comes with a balcony or an ocean view which we were a little disappointed about. Also the phone in the room was not connected so when I needed to call the front desk I had to walk to them as no one was available when I called using the posted phone number from my cell phone.

The staff was not the friendliest. They tend to look more like we are bothering them by staying there. The walls and flooring are thin and you can hear other people staying at the property. A guest above us left their dogs alone who were crying and howling for at least 3 hours. I told staff but they didn’t do anything about it. The plus was the beach across the street and easily accessible.

Great location and staff, minor issues with the property. Had a roof leak in our room occur, found hours after we had checked in. Was told they could not offer us an ocean view room as a replacement as we reserved and was only offered 5000 Hyatt points in consolation (not even equivalent to the valet fees) once we decided to stay in the room. They didn’t even provide fresh towels after we had used them to clean up the water due to one of us slipping in it. Definitely unfortunate but overall had a good time with our family that we had convinced to stay there for Mother’s Day weekend as a fun way to get together. But definitely disappointed in the over all situation, and wish it would have been handled better.
