Room was great but not as clean as it should be. Believe it or not we had sprouts growing out of our sink over flow drain. Had to have engineer. The maids never checked to see if we needed anything. We were there for four nights. Three guests. The restaurant and pool area was very nice and well staffed. Valet was well operated and very friendly.

We come here every year and every time it is a memorable experience. The kids have a blast hanging in the pool while the adults sip some delicious drinks and grub. All of the staff are super friendly which made the experience even that much more memorable. Can't beat the view either. Location is amazing because not only is there a tasty restaurant on site, Windmill Food Hall is right down the road from the hotel. Can't wait to come back next year!

Attention to every little detail made the stay effortless. The front desk check-in treated me with class and respect and I felt like a valued guest. AMEX platinum perks were great! The room was standard but felt upgraded with the little details of quality shampoo, conditioner, lotions, and soap. The pool was fun and the staff were friendly and attentive. The furniture felt modern, fresh and high quality. There was a fun robot delivery that brought snacks and treats to your room, the kids loved it! Lastly, the simple things worked seamlessly like getting in and out of the parking garage using my mobile key. Cleanliness was top notch and they always had a staff member cleaning the lobby area. The location is easy to access and a fantastic location across from the beach. We will be back!
