Staff were nice but the hotel is in dire need of a deep clean and some TLC. We were put in a pet friendly room without being told and there were huge pee stains on the floor and large scratches on the door and it smelled of dogs. Know it’s an older hotel but a good clean and some minor repairs would go a LONG way. View was amazing from the hotel.

Its an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The resort is nested in a beautiful bay with a nice marina, where leisurely walk. The rooms was fairly clean and tidy overall, but carpets do need more cleaning as mentioned by some reviewers. Staff was nice.

Disappointed Anniversary Stay

We booked 2 days for our Anniversary in the King Suite. Upon arrival checking in the front receptionist that dealt with us was professional until the other male receptionist started complaining out loud he had to talk to upcoming guest for 35 minutes on the phone which both receptionist laughing and complaining in front of guest checking in. Very unprofessional behaviour for front staff. When we received a phone call saying our room was clean we checked our room out. Detail was not look at for example inside the armoire where the tv and fridge were it was full of dust. The patio was not swept where chocolate peanuts under the patio chairs and pine needles on the cement floor. I read in other comment the place needs a lot of updating but I looked past that hoping it wasn’t so bad. They were right… wallpaper peeling off the walls, furniture stained, carpets have large stains, end table covered in big water stains and the bed very uncomfortable … looking under sheet a very old mattress that sinks in the centre. Now the hot tub above reception covered in pine cone with needles getting in our suit. We decided to try the hot tub below near cafe which was clean but didn’t work properly. Getting dark we thought the lights would come on so we could see where we were walking through pool area… husband 70 having to use our flashlight to find our way out. Maybe they were trying to save electricity I don’t know. Restaurant over priced! Would we come back- no!

Our stay was pleasant. A big shout-out to staff member Anthony who did what he could to make us comfortable. While the resort overall was nice, it felt overpriced for what we received. The check-in process (not with Anthony)

We had an Ocean View room. The view was incredible! The room could use refurbishing though. It was looking very worn - carpet had large stains, the entry door was very hard to open as the door hardware was not properly installed. Paint was due for an update. Some of the gym equipment was out of order. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. Food in the restaurants was excellent and reasonably priced. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
