My review is more like a 4.5 star, I honestly have no complaints, but one, and that was the cleaning staff, they were very slow to assist. At one point we needed more towels, only one set was put in our room, and it took over an hour, the second incident was our iron didn't work, and it took well over 45 minutes, which left a bad taste in my mouth. The property is removed from the "action" which was fine for me because I needed peace, however, the property is walkable to the "action". It's located right on the beach and that section of the beach was very quiet. They offer chairs and umbrellas for a fee. Views for the gulf front rooms are amazing! The front desk staff was professional and friendly. I didn't eat in the restaurant, which is more like a lobby restaurant. There is a restaurant next to the property if you don't feel like walking far, it's in the sand. I visited the pool area which has awesome views of the ocean, but I did not get in, although heated, it was too chilly while I was there. There is a bar at the pool for food and drinks. The hotel did allow me to check in early and they honored a late checkout, so that was a huge plus, to add the icing on the cake, upon entering my room, there was a card and balloons in there (it was my birthday) super unexpected and very thoughtful, thank you! Would I visit this hotel again, yes I would, do I recommend this hotel for those that are looking for a peaceful and tranquil vacation/getaway, absolutely!
