Overpriced and underwhelming

This place is sooo far out of whack with the price demanded for just basic rooms. I would say that even the premium rooms (which I visited) were as basic as they come. Towels that as super small and incredibly scratchy (ie too old or no fabric softener ever used). The service is good with some employees, but downright rude with others. There is a lot of "well those are the rules" or "it is what it is attitude". Clearly the property is lacking in re-investment as three of the rooms had toilet paper holders that were all broken. The local rooster calls at 4:45 in the morning were not appreciated either. To top it off, they had the audacity to charge a resort fee on top of the outlandish room rate. I am not sure for what, given the above miscues.

It is one of 3 "sister" resorts with both land and water transportation between them. The outdoor areas were clean, spacious, had plenty of ocean front, clean pools and quiet. Several great restaurants are withing walking distance, or the shuttle is available for transportation.

Beautiful property, staff was wonderful. Our room was clean and well appointed. The hallways could use a good vacuuming and the furniture in our room and the lobby areas could use a good upholstery cleaning also. The areas outside were well maintained. A beautiful place, just needs a little TLC.

Make more coffee lol

Only one criticism — the coffee. The hotel didn’t offer coffee until just after 7 am— there was always a line and only one pot brewing for regular and decaf each day. The nearest Starbucks or Dunkin was a drive. Everyone had the same idea to get to the lobby early to grab a few cups before they ran out. Not the end of the world, but a pain
