Beautiful Hotel, gorgeous views they have done a nice job remodeling the rooms. Fireplaces and ocean views are lovely. The only issue is the check in is too late at 4pm and the check out is too early at 10am it is just not worth the price to stay at this hotel with that short of time to enjoy the room and property.

Incredible hotel villas with breathtaking views! We loved all of the amenities, the campus, and 3 individual hot tubs sprinkled amongst the premises. The villa itself was very nice, I loved the tub! Beautiful, well kept grounds and very friendly helpful staff!

Our room had a great view of the ocean, however the rooms are antiquated and they are missing details that other rooms for the same rates offer. Some of the basic that I believe should be a minimum requirement for a room with this rate is waters, shower caps, and other toiletries. A special touch is highly needed. Our room offered a beautiful view of the ocean; however, it felt outdated and lacked the finer details that other rooms at the same rate typically provide. I believe some basic amenities, such as bottled water, shower caps, and other toiletries, should be standard for rooms at this price point. A special touch would greatly enhance the experience.
