The staff were all very friendly. The lobby smelled like orange blossoms which was so nice and really added to the ambience. They were doing some construction at the property to build a new pool facility but it didn't negatively affect our stay.

The tiki bar wasnt open. They had a lot of renovation work going on. And the elevator didn’t work properly the morning we were leaving. But the hotel was beautiful, our room was great, and the location and access to the beach were perfect

Awesome place but outside areas need updating

Lovely place, beautiful views, super friendly staff. It’s close to lots to see, eat and shop. The restaurant and tiki bar are awesome. Inside rooms are updated, fresh and clean. The building we were in, the outside was one, dirty and run down, wooden steps deteriorating and peeling paint. Weeds were growing through landscaping and there were cigarette butts around. The elevator was down so we had to carry everything to 3rd floor. If they would renovate the outside like they did the inside it would be great.

Love all the upgrades of furniture flooring and bathroom, only complaint was sound of doors banging constantly due to what we assume was wind. Need a door wedge or something to keep doors from being so loose.
