Exceptional

All in all , loved...

Liked: We came in a day early and they were able to find us room and then upgraded our room ! Our room was right at the beach ...loved it ! Loved listening to the ocean at night ...lulled me to sleep. Had a glitch with the TV but they fixed that asap. Bed was comfy...over all great experience. We would stay there again:)
Disliked: A few things would be nicer next time ... if they lit the place up with the torches every night and added more of them. Wear and tear of seating at the fire pit area, more outdoor activities , games possibly , besides yoga and bikes.

Good

Liked: Close to stores an beach
Disliked: Stairs. Third floor no elevator

Enjoyable stay

Liked: Given a top floor room overlooking the pool and ocean, clean and very comfortable bed with drip filter coffee in room. Filtered water available in reception, breakfast items are sugar loaded but fresh pineapple and yoghurt was welcome. Staff friendly and helpful, thanks for assisting with opening a corked bottle! :)
Disliked: Really could have used a desk or table in the room. There was many chairs but no table! (other than the low table on the balcony). Made it uncomfortable to use my tablet when I needed to, which was often. Suggest to remove the two chairs and stool and replace with a sit-at table and chair.

Very good

Good location, everything else not...

Liked: Good location with ocean view. Staff were nice and helpful.
Disliked: Honestly, it felt like a glorified Days Inn. The beds were hard, and there were no phones in the room to call the lobby. No microwave was a bummer, so you can't heat up food in the fridge. There didn't seem to be a heating function in the air unit. Breakfast was sparse for a hotel claiming to be a resort. No elevator, so be prepared to lug your luggage up a few flights of stairs if on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Their morning church service on Easter woke us up promptly at 6:30am with music coming through speakers. What happened to quiet hours being between 10pm and 8am? Water pressure was no good. For $200-300 per night, I expect better imo.

It’s an old hotel but...

Liked: The grab and go breakfast was pretty decent and not really found at many hotels. The bag and bottle as a gift was pretty handy and useful. Morning yoga and free bikes was a great addition.
Disliked: The bikes did not have child car seat. Kids bike also not available. Will be great if we could also keep few of those for people with family to enjoy too! Keeping spare umbrellas for guests without car can be very handy too since it rains so much :)
