-check in is confusing. you must enter the PAID parking lot to check in. Then, there is no place to park in front of the lobby - everything is marked "valet." not very friendly. -parking is NOT free and the web page does not say that you must pay for it. -outdoors, if you look closely, you will see that the property has been poorly maintained. there are missing tiles, lights are out of alignment, and the metal framework for some benches has rusted away. It looks like they have just started to perform some needed outdoor repairs. -the rooms are nice, though the faucets wiggled and there is no microwave

Overpriced "ocean view" resort
Hotel is older and it shows. They charge a fortune for parking...$42/day. Then on top of that a $40/day "resort fee", which I'm not sure why I was paying because all of the amenities (spa, pool, etc) were closed for renovations. The "ocean view" we paid a lot for you had to squint and be on your toes to see...the ocean is across a major road. Lots of traffic noise too. The room was spacious and fine. They put us right by a bathroom and people slamming the door day and night made it hard to sleep. Overall I would not stay again. The price didn't justify the view.

Not an actual resort as far as I can tell
Terrible - no hot tub or pool facilities during construction and no notification of this - they blamed Hotels.com for not notifying us - so we probably wont be using Hotels.com anymore either no hot water 2 days running off duty manager was initially condescending when I tried to address the issue they should not call themselves a resort if they dont provide resort ammenities and service

Our stay was wonderful! We had a king-sized bed with a patio. The staff was polite and helpful. The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!
