"The hotel was new and very clean, but the breakfast could have been better. Also, we needed an extra blanket; we asked the staff repeatedly, but no one paid any attention. Eventually, we went to the reception desk and managed to get one."

"Food and service at hotel restaurants, especially Sunday brunch, were excellent. We arrived in time for Tropical Storm Rachel and unseasonably cool and wet weather but still enjoyed our stay in a 1st floor villa room facing the bay. Bathroom had no fan which we thought was odd. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will return here again with more predictable weather."
