Check-in was smooth and efficient. The hotel offers on-site parking for an additional $24 per night, which is deducted from your incidentals. On Saturday morning, we decided to try the breakfast buffet at the Tides restaurant inside the hotel. We made our plates and sat down, but when we asked a waitress for some hot tea, she informed us that the buffet was $22 per person—something we hadn't been told earlier. We appreciated her letting us know before we started eating, so we opted to try a local spot called Citrus instead, which was a great choice and well worth the price.
After breakfast, we rented a beach Cabana for $84, but when we arrived, another family was already there. They politely moved, but it would be helpful if the hotel provided “Reserved” signs to avoid this issue.
Later, a family member was coming to stay in our room for a night, so I called the front desk to ensure they would receive a room key, blankets, and a parking pass upon arrival. Although the staff member assured me these items would be ready, my family member wasn’t given anything, which was disappointing. Additionally, we experienced some technical issues—our room phone wasn’t working properly, so we had to rely on our cell phones to contact the front desk.
Despite these minor issues, our stay was enjoyable. The room was spacious, the view was stunning, and the food and drinks at Tides were good. With a few improvements, this hotel could be even better. I would still recommend it.
