Paying for the Name
The room felt dormitory with hand me down furniture. For how much it costs I don’t recommend. Paying for the name.

We booked the end of the year at this resort because the dinner and brunch packages were well advertised and we wanted something special to celebrate our anniversary. The resort was fairly busy but we enjoyed our room which was well appointed and very cozy. The dinner was excellent and made for a special evening. However, the bottomless brunch buffet was a cringe. Serving a buffet one bite at a time on tiny plates defies the rules of a traditional buffet. So I believe the advertised package was quite misleading for anyone who planned their food options step by step. And embarrassing in the same time as we had to struggle with the orders every second bite. My husband literally had 4 pieces of bacon and a poached egg for $80.00 and then the server charged us for the latte just because there was no coffee station and we believed coffee would be included in the menu. Latte or not! The thing is, we didn’t mind the price of the package at all, but we didn’t really experienced all the selections because we got fed up of studying the menu while we were trying to enjoy the breakfast. In the end, we had a good time there and we will definitely come back, but next time I’ll ask more questions ahead of time.

For the cost… go elsewhere
We could hear our neighbours low volume tv through the walls. Along with that, areas around the toilet didn’t look well cleaned. My biggest complaint about the hotel is the spa. When booking, I wasn’t told there was an auto gratuity on EACH service per person. At the end of our spa visit, we had over $100 in auto grats in addition to the tips we gave our servers, as we weren’t aware we were already being charged.

The staff was excellent. The kitchen lacked nothing. I loved that there was real creamers, not that powder stuff, for excellent coffee in the morning. It is a very walkable beach. The gift shop is full of local made items. It is a great retreat.

Other than semi-limited parking, the one night stay here was great. I had to leave my room to go to the front desk for assistance then again to pick up my food and I lost my spot both times. I ended up having to park by the next building over. The front desk staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The pizza from the restaurant was great. Fantastic room and beautiful view of the ocean. The only other small thing is I think the coffee maker was fried so I did a make shift pour over method.
