Not as advertised
The St John’s hotel was undoubtedly lovely in its day. Unfortunately, it is playing a catch up game with its maintenance. First the good: the location is great! Just a brief walk through the pines in order to get to the beach. It is walking distance from great restaurants and stores and has many conveniences on the grounds. The staff is wonderful. We arrived early and we’re not allowed to check in but there was a young man (Logan) that took a genuine interest in helping us out and our wait was not a problem. We were on the 9th floor with an ocean view and really enjoyed looking out the windows. The rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed and everything worked the way it was supposed to. Now the bad: The elevators are a real problem . It was not uncommon for us to wait four or five minutes and once it was seven minutes. There were also times when you had to wait for a 2nd one because the first was too full. They call it an “Executive Lounge” but it’s really just a rundown place to get the same monotonous food every morning. I don’t believe it was worth the extra that we paid for it. The beach does not belong to the hotel but please be careful! It is a lovely place And you might be tempted to not look where you are walking, but please do. My wife found 19 fishing lures washed up on the shore on the two beach walks that she took. (Pictured) On the website they have pictures of the lovely pools . Unfortunately we didn’t real

Good Hotel
This is a very big hotel. I paid for a better room with separate check in area and access to the executive lounge. As a result, check in was very easy and the member of staff was very kind. The room was a good size, clean, and had a good view of the ocean. The executive lounge was very busy and I'm not sure about the quality of some of the foods. There is only one coffee machine, so it takes a long time to get a coffee. Otherwise, it was fine. A good hotel, but there are not enough elevators considering the size and number of guests. We constantly had to wait minutes for one to arrive. A very nice hotel, but a bit too busy and bustling for me.

It is too bad the pool isn’t included and is such a high cost, especially for a family. We loved the hotel and stay but will probably book somewhere else next time to have an affordable pool for the kids to play in.

We had a very enjoyable stay. We liked the breakfast and the happy hour food and drinks in the evening. It was included in the price. We met some other nice travelers there. The views from the top are very nice. The beach is a short walk away. There is nice artwork in the little pine forest. The parking garage at the hotel was full when we arrived, but there is another one not far. So no problem. But be sure to register your car number at reception. We didn’t and had to pay when we left. But we are getting refunded for it. In the end the hotel is worth going back to. We can recommend it!

Very nice resort by the beach. Extremely dog friendly for those who bring their k9 pals everywhere. Checkin/check out were very smooth. Everyone was very nice. Only drawback is there is no “room service”. There’s a couple of items you can order that is from one of the restaurants. So if you’re have a late night out and are hungry, better to stop somewhere and bring it to your room. Otherwise, it’s a great place to stay.
