The only negative is the hotel “Fees”, multiple taxes, and mandatory valet parking is an additional cost of $131.00 per day.

The property is absolutely beautiful. You get amazing views no matter where you are and having direct access to the beach is a huge plus. Everyone was so nice and accommodating to us. The resort was clean and provided beautiful amenities including the pool and hot tub, 24 hour gym, and many places to lay around and relax. The only thing that I would say was disappointing were the significant amount of fees a day including amenity and resort fees. There is also no other option but to use their valet services which is an additional $42.80 a day. Just be aware of the amount of fees before you book so you’re not surprised. Other than that, it felt luxurious to be here and gave us a great place to stay for our vacation

Nice hotel though dining room and spa weren’t as high a standard as the rooms. Between all the resort fees and daily valet charge, cost really added up. Probably places as nice or nicer are available in the area

Expensive but we made it work

Hmm it as a beautiful resort but I couldn’t get a pool chair they were all full 1 I sighed yo for the key buffet but was instead presented with the three course meal which cost over 300 for two people - the pool service including Karen and Jacob were super sweet! I’d stay away from the pool chairs near the cornhole cuz that was super loud thunk all afternoon long - I loved our room on floor 8 great view great sized balcony bedroom and bathroom but no towel or trash changes daily - that was not cool - convenient to beach and sunset festivals, shops and a wide array of restaurants - bell staff was also super nice! No concierge even though there’s a desk for one - for this caliber of a resort I would expect one! Love the free waters and fruit on every floor

Love that it was walkable to almost everything. Beach and pool were right there. Wish there was another dining option indoors that was more family friendly and not so expensive and/or a gift shop that sold more food options for grab and go. Overall, highly recommend this property!
