Not that great.
Bathroom is great to have a hot bath and quite impressive. Room services dinning is awesome. The servers from restaurants are soooo kind and attentive. I love the servers. They deserve better, i think. However, making a reservation for a premium view at high price, i got a room on 2 floor. Besides, couldnt see ANYTHING AT NIGHT AT BALCONY. THERE WAS NO LAMP OR LIGHTS OUTSIDE AT ALL. HOW COME THIS ROOM OF VIEW IS PREMIUM? I DONT KNOW. the staff at front desk BERRY? She is not that much willingfully help guests.

Xmas getaway
We stayed over Xmas so experience may be atypical. Room very comfortable and well appointed. Room and public areas were immaculate. All staff very friendly and helpful. Beach is a short walk but it was a little chilly to enjoy. Be aware of $45/day resort fee (that did not cover the Spa which charged typical resort prices) and $25/day self-parking fee in a lot that half-flooded when it rained. However, overall this was a pleasant and special holiday experience. We would return if in the area.
