Could be magical…./
This resort has been on my list for a long time after following their IG account. I booked my entire road trip around a 2 night stay at this hotel. Bonus points as they were pet friendly. We booked an ocean front king with a patio. First, the room was perfect! The fenced in patio with 2 Adirondack chairs facing the ocean was magical. Our pups names on the dog bowls and treats was a nice touch. We had a nice dinner at Salt Wood. However, for the price I was extremely disappointed that we weren’t given any notice of the o going construction occurring on property. I appreciate they are making improvement tan but walking through the “resort” Among all the workers felt like a construction site, not a beach getaway yellow caution tape, paint cans, vehicles, landscapers, noise, was rediculous. We paid a hefty price to bring our 2 dogs and the pet relief area was closed die to construction according to a staff member and the area we were shown to use was a dirt field full of stickers/burrs. The only grass on property belonged to the time share units that share the property but posted signage everywhere indicated not to enter with a pet. Another bummer was that our room was directly behind the hotel’s beach sitting area where guests can sot in chairs around Fire pits for sunset. However, guests sit on the beach all day smoking away. Be prepared to wake up and see guests in their bathrobes, chatting loudly on their phones while dragging on their smokes. So disappointing!

This place is amazing, and our only regret was we weren't able to stay longer! It is right on the beach, with amazing views. The hotel really allows you to take advantage of the location, whether it's watching the sun set, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean, or enjoying the comfortable chairs and fire pits right on the beach. The restaurant was great. We enjoyed wonderful service. The entire experience was a perfect start to what was our honeymoon. We'll be back!
