This hotel was very loud. Not the cleanest place. There was a bunch of dirty laundry outside the door when we arrived at room. No cleaning service during the day when there was supposed to be cleaning. Room had sand all over floor. Water from faucet barley flowed. Very low water pressure for showers. Ocean view room had a big grey cement wall that blocked the view and a staircase. This room was a disappointment.

The room was great but the service was terrible towards the end of our stay. We requested Kate check out (12:00 pm) instead of 11 and at 11:10 housekeeping started knocking. I told her we had a late check. 5 minutes later, a hotel staffer knocked and I told him the same thing. Even told him I was waiting on my husband to come back and he proceeded to tell me, O here is is now, not knowing if the man was my husband or not. Not only was this extremely rude but it was scary. I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN

The rooms were fine but the pictures online made it look a bit more polished than it really is. For example there was no hand towel hook by the sink. Little details were missing and the floorboards were very scuffed up. The outdoor common area is next to a public beach and some people were smoking at the hotel fire pits which was very uncomfortable. There was no staff nearby to manage this.

Others stated that cleaning was an issue and I thought after seeing the management respond back to so many messages apologizing saying that they fixed this issue I decided to book because of the location. Sadly they did not fix this issue. For a relatively pricey hotel, it is shocking that they do not clean rooms daily. We had to call the front desk multiple times to get the room clean. We only had the room cleaned once. The excuse for not cleaning the room daily (during our almost 4 day stay) was that they were at max capacity, but I have stayed at a plethora of hotels and never heard of that being an issue. The rooms are beautiful though, just a shame that you have to follow up multiple times to get a basic room clean and towels.

The lobby area is very well done the rest of the facility needs attention to details. Outside patio spaces very dirty and unkept. Weather conditions during our stay did not allow for the pool however the sauna area seemed to be unkept and we were told it wasn’t completed however I imagine it was due to maintenance issues. Water pressure was limited in shower. Overall the price $$$ didn’t match the experience and the $45 per day plus tax seemed outrageous for parking. The bar not being open until 3:00 limited arriving guest from relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine from the wine tap which was also not available until after 3:00.
