We loved the location that was close to so many restaurants and shops. The lobby is beautiful and welcoming as well as the staff. Our room was clean with great views. We would love to stay there again!
Room was cleaned and the whole appearance of the hotel was very nice. Views from the pool area and rooms are spectacular. Mandi at the front desk was very nice and helpful with our room needs, also Anita at the bar area was very friendly. I would definitely stay again at this hotel.
The ocean view from the lagoon tower was incredible. The room was also very close to the private lagoon. Staff was friendly and attentive, walking distance to great restaurants and the pier.

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were clean but even though they were somewhat updated, the hotel in general felt quite old and run down. Staff were pleasant and the pool area is really nice. Best beach bar and happy hour is just down the road at On The Rocks!
Love the nightly “entertainment”, quiet mornings where you’re greeted by the birds and sound of the waves. Staff is very friendly. Walking distance to downtown.
Very helpful in a stressful situation with our flight cancellation
Food was fantastic
The complementary drinks were absolutely delicious.
Definitely would stay here again
Front desk staff and room attendants were wonderful. Bar/restaurant staff were abrupt, seemingly always having a bad day. Properties well dated. Kitschy but tired. Good location.
Good place to enjoy day’s leisurely, short walk for shopping , dining and beaches. Small drive for magic and beach for swimming, surfing. Pool and sun bathing is excellent. Good views from balcony. Perfect place to watch sunset near by beaches or from swimming pool
