We got the last room at the end, there were a few flies in the room when we got there My husband noticed more flies in the corridor. The room was clean but furniture, baseboard, and other items could be cleaner/upgraded. My husband loves the different seating options around the area. One thing we both did not enjoy was the bed. It was just not comfortable at all. Pillows were great, sheets were nice, but the bed itself was horrible.

The staff were very kind and helpful. Our room was at the end of the hotel. The last room by the road. Room 402 was a bit loud for us with the road and people having access to walk. The view was stunning from our room. Not sure if I would stay again because of how loud and the noise. We went to relax and did not get much rest.

The hotel property is beautiful. Ocean front rooms with a great view. The room itself was so nice. Checking in was easy. My only complaint is the beds are so hard. They look fluffy but are not. Still, it didn’t ruin our trip. Everything else, is great

The rooms were clean, the staff (especially Martin) accommodating, and the grounds incredibly beautiful. We appreciated the extra touches, such as complementary yoga, wine tastings, and a guitar player for some relaxed sunset time. We loved our oceanfront view and relaxing on the various swings on the property. We'll stay here again.
