I did not like the fact that we paid a lot and the property isn’t up to par. The fire breakfast was terrible only consisted of waffles, juice, coffee, cereal. And our room haven’t been up dated in years.

Don't waste your money until the renovations are complete. Beautiful setting but food was lousy and overpriced, breakfast was the same 3 out of the 4 mornings we were there. The floor in the room was swept but never washed thus always gritty. VERY poor climate engineering, very musty rooms, furniture was sticky, old dust on the wicker chairs, towels and bed linens were damp feeling. This place should be closed during the construction. Getting free parking and free "hot" breakfast didn't work with us at all. Overpriced for what amenities are still available. Would love a big refund.

The staff is great but they didn’t have wait staff for several of the meals. This aging hotel needs some Renovations. The hot tub has no bubbles and the exterior needs a little paint but the pool and grounds are very nice. In our room Half of outlets didn’t work, paint was peeling on the bathroom ceiling (probably because there is not no vent), the bathroom door did not work properly and the bath tub was not draining properly. The art work was odd. The prices charged are not in line with the condition of the room. The location can’t be beat by being on both the outstanding beach and harbor. It’s also walking distance to many shops and restaurants.

This is such a beautiful spot. Loved that you have the beach on one side and the harbour on the other…you can swim at both! We would spend the mornings at the beach and evenings at the harbour to watch the sunset. The Property is a bit older though, so requires a lot of upkeep…I would suggest maybe a dehumidifier in the lobby to get rid of that old damp smell. The room was clean, but had some wear and tear despite being one of the renovated rooms, like the sliding door for the bathroom wasn’t sitting right on the tracks and the dual shower head didn’t really work properly. The room was beautiful though and the views are stunning on either side. All the staff were so friendly too, we enjoyed our time here.
