Heather who called to confirm our reservation was wonderful and the lady in the coffee shop the morning of 1/19 was delightful and her drinks were delicious. On the other hand, The heat in the room didn’t work and required a visit from engineering. The bedding wasn’t sufficient for a cold night… it seemed like we were missing a blanket or comforter. The phone wouldn’t call out so we had to run downstairs to talk to the front desk, the TV kept cutting out, and there wasn’t a bath mat.

The lobby and hotel was so beautiful. The service was top notch. The little cafe/coffee shop was wonderful and prices were great. Everything was very clean and the staff was so wonderful. Our room had a beautiful view. My only downfall was the bed. It was not comfortable and the pillows were terrible. That is my only complaint. After our weekend stay I could not wait to get back so I could see the chiropractor. I did not sleep well. I would absolutely go back, however I would try to request and extra comforter to make the bed just a bit softer and extra pillows that had some support. Otherwise the property was wonderful.

The staff were professional and prompt, we arrived an hr before our check in time and were able to get our room early, that in itself was so helpful and we totally appreciated it as I had my child with me who desperately needed a nap! The gelato and coffee shop was an absolute hit and so were our cocktails, we didn’t get a chance to try the food but the menu looked so tempting. We came during the off season and it was beautiful, we didn’t mind we couldn’t get a full experience as the pools are closed but with the beach being walking distance from our room was everything, I’d definitely come back, love to try this place during warmer weather!
