Beware! Hotel is under construction. We showed up at 2:15 for a 4:00 check in. That is a late check in time but at least we where aware of it. We waited until after 4 for text to tell us room # and room was ready. Had to go to front desk. Gentleman at front desk said room was not ready so he got the manager. Manger gave us our room but said semi-private balcony would be closed until following day.
We ungraded after booking for the balcony. It is now 2:42pm the second day and balcony is not open and all I hear are power tools and all I see are construction workers in our Ocean view The manager on staff did understand and compensated for lack of use of balcony and construction. Staff has been helpful. Rooms are also very clean and updated. When construction is complete this will be a great hotel for honeymoon or family. Will be 4 1/2 stars.

The external rooms around the pool were extremely clean, wonderful decor and layout. Modern beach decor with full kitchen. Definitely a hotel stay in the future. Restaurant good great as well. Staff were welcoming.

Rooms are newer and clean. This year our room was on the first floor and it was insanely noisy walls seemed paper thin. Last year we had a townhouse suite which was amazing! I would only stay in the townhouse suite if we go again. Also, both this year and last year the front desk called very early in the morning asking me to move my vehicle due to exterior painting being done.

It wasn't a bad place to stay at. The beach was across the street so it was always great that you can walk there. It was under construction when we went and there was a lot of strong paint smells and other things. Cleaning service could've been a bit better as well. I just feel like they pushed things to the side and swept the floor and didn't dust. The hotel restaurant could've been better as well.
The wait staff wasn't too friendly. The key cards kept demagnitising so it was annoying when you got to your room and the card didn't work and you would need to head all the way back downstairs for a new one. The room walls were also paper thin, we could hear what everyone was doing and saying as well as they could definitely hear us too.

Booked for a baby moon and was excited to stay. Was planning on the trip being a test for a new family vacation spot. We came down with covid and were on quarantine while having to go to the hospital in case of an emergency induction. I contacted the hotel three days before the check in date(the day after being up all night with the GI stuff). I was out on hold as "desk was currently busy" so they took down my number and then disconnected with no call back.
I tried again an hour later. The staff was great and the manager had us go through booking.com to cancel. Two days pass and booking.com reaches out saying the hotel isn't responding. I contact the hotel and I'm told I have a 200$ cancellation fee for same day. I explain everything and all I got was the managers voicemail. Needless to say no one I know will ever stay there. Save your money and just rent one of the hundred Air b&bs.

Incredible ladies at the front desk. I was dropping off a delivery and had fallen on ice due to the weather (Not Here). The one woman at the front desk went and got me a bag of ice for my back. Thank you for your compassion and kindness.

Beautiful hotel, steps from the beach. I gave this 4 stars because of the restaurant hemmingways which is part of the hotel. 1 drink from this bar will have you crawling to your room and the food was just ok. They redeemed themselves with dessert and the staff were incredible and welcoming. I just think they need to make some adjustments to the quality of their food. Additionally, they put us in a handicap room, which was fine except they had little to no counter space in the bathroom and the towel hooks and the bathroom door were not reach-able for someone who was handicap. Neither me or my boyfriend are but it didn't seem like the most handicap friendly room. Other than that it is was a nice place to stay.
