Stay Here! Eat here!
Beautiful, modern hotel. We loved the views, the bed was so comfortable, the pool and poolside bar was great. We loved the restaurant and felt the prices were fair. The best part, though, was the staff! Scarlet made the best drinks! Tracy and Bryan were fantastic servers. The food was fantastic!

Large room, nice restaurant if u can get a table.
They need to accomodate all their guests in the dining room with a few more smaller tables, especially if their is a band. Arrived for dinner to see several empty tables that said "reserved" and tables for ten with three people.
