We were with a large group of 5-6 different families and were turned away from eating at the in-hotel restaurant for dinner one night, even though the restaurant was not crowded. They lost a lot of money that night.
I was also saddened to see the free coffee/tea station was taken away, and the in-room robes were also taken away. I am unsure why the hotel has made these budget cuts here because they are such nice amenities for guests.
Positively the property was as beautiful as ever. The golf cart staff was great about picking us up and dropping us off at the beach and were very friendly. The front desk was also great about providing extra blankets and pillows when we needed them.
The beachfront location is fantastic, offering a great spot to relax and enjoy the ocean. The property is also very safe for children, making it an excellent choice for families. However, it is a bit removed from restaurants and shopping areas. While the carpets in both of the units we stayed in could use some attention, the units themselves were comfortable and well-maintained.
The property looks beautiful on the website however when you get here it's just nothing but an old hotel with a beautiful view of the ocean that's about it. They only have one restaurant here and it's horrible food and overpriced just like the hotel is.
