This place is eclectic, modest and fun but noisy. There is no sound proofing so if you stay on the first floor and are not a heavy sleeper, it may be hard to rest, like it was for me. There was constant sound of walking and loud plumbing turning off and on. My brother also had a room and the shower barely worked. The lobby would be a nice place to hang out but always really cold because they keep the doors open. The cancellation policy is tough: 72 hours notice to receive a refund. We were debating cutting our trip short but when I realized I would not be able to sleep well, we resolved to leave despite no refund. Not a terrible experience but would not go back
First, I thought we were staying at the main building Villa Rosa but was given the first floor of a room at Tide Pool across the street. That was misleading. We did not like our room. Secondly, there is a hidden fee of $28 extra per day upon check-in that they blame Expedia for--
not cool for customers. Next, half of my suite did not have power since the first day we arrived and no one knows how to fix it despite multiple requests. Due to no power, one of the TV's did not work and we had to charge phones on one side of the room. Lastly my husband and I got locked out of our rooms 3 times due to a problem with keys. Owner saw and had to let us in.
Watch out if you book via Expedia as the Villa Rosa hotel charges hidden "Resort fees".
Unfortunately, they failed to mention breakfast and happy hour. We were across the street from the hotel in the "Tide Pool" rooms so we didn't know about happy hour, breakfast, nor the pool.
Area was great. Room was good too, but TV didn't work.
