Very comfortable and spacious. The amenities were nice and the room was updated. The staff was friendly and helpful. In room dining was still figuring out it's flow since the hotel opened 8 weeks ago. We had a view of Lido Beach and loved having balcony access both from our room and the seating area. Walking distance from St Armand's!

The room was great. The staff was great. The location was great. The ability to utilize the sister hotel, Lido Beach Resort, was great, although it made us question why we didnt just stay at LBR. Suggestion, offer chairs and umbrellas at the beach across the street. The only complaint we have is the menu at Ringside. It was unnecessarily fancy. My husband is a chef and I have waited tables for years in my past, so we are not unknowledgable about food service. The restaurant was close to empty most nights we were there. That should tell you something. We would have preferred to stay in house for dinner, but ended up going to St. Armands every night. We would recommend changing the lunch and dinner menu to offer both fancy food, but balanced with straight forward dinners. We had a fantastic time and wish we could have stayed longer... again, the frustration was the restaurant menu.

It’s important to address the discrepancies regarding this property. Despite how it is advertised, it is still under construction and not fully completed. Guests should not have to navigate inconvenient situations like parking in the back due to lack of access to the main area. Additionally, the pool is closed with no prior notice, and it requires a 10-minute walk to get to the main facilities, which is unacceptable given the price you pay. While the staff may do their best to meet your needs, the overall experience falls short and does not justify the cost. It feels like a complete scam. To add to the frustration, the property manager failed to apologize and simply stated that she was not involved. This lack of accountability is disappointing. Its not worth the price they ask!
