It’s clean. Staff is excellent and close to the beach. Loved walking the beach and sitting at Bongo’s bar on the beach was super convenient. Great sunsets. Our only disappointment was that the pool was not heated as advertised. After I reported it, they ordered replacement part for heater and said to have replaced it, but the pool remained cold all week. A heated pool was one of the factors we decided to stay here. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in Penthouse #2 to celebrate our birthdays. Concierge Geoffrey was amazing at helping arrange balloons, cake, champagne etc. We enjoyed drinks on level 11 and a beautiful dinner at Spinners. The only downside was we woke up with numerous bites on our legs/ankles. We didn't see any bugs or fleas in our room but we did alert the hotel manager Shawn who said it was sand fleas in the room as they do migrate from the beach - even though we didn't go on the beach! This does raise a concern obviously as to how they got in our penthouse.

We rented a Penthouse suite and directly across from our door to our room was a very large deep fryer oil filtration system. It smelled like grease and there also was a ballroom on this floor for events, they had an event on Friday evening and they parked the food warming cabinet directly in front of our door to our room. Also the door for our room was very dirty and scifff marks all over it. I would not return to this property for the price I paid.
