Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were incredibly spacious, feeling like a standard Marriott or Westin, complete with great beds and even greater views. They were beautifully decorated with roses and rose petals, along with chocolates for an extra touch of luxury. The service, especially from Adam, was exceptional, extending to all hotel staff, from the front desk to the spa and restaurant personnel. The location was excellent, offering beautiful beach views and stunning sunsets, though some areas could use a bit of improvement. The dining experience was a culinary delight, with delicious options both in the buffet and a la carte menus. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few minor areas for enhancement.
The hotel offers generously spacious rooms with lovely marble bathrooms, though they could use a bit more updating. The service is top-notch, exemplifying southern hospitality, with staff doing their best to accommodate guests. The beautiful location provides amazing beach views and stunning sunsets, although it can get busy. The dining experience is delightful, particularly with the amazing breakfast options available. The facilities are well-equipped and maintained.
