The food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and very clean. The grounds were well taken care of and the sand was raked, chairs set out and fire pits lit at dusk. Great experience. Pricey but well worth it!

The facilities are nice and very clean. Marina views beautiful and nice big balconies. They work on a skeleton staff so for the cost of the hotel you don’t get much in terms of services. We ordered the champagne to be in our room at arrival and it wasn’t :( so we went to the pool bar and when we came back to the room the champagne was there but it wasn’t even in an ice bucket and there were 2 glasses when our res was for 3 adults in our room One of us arrived 30 minutes before check in and the front desk would not allow her to go to the pool bar to wait for us! At check in I felt like we were given more a set of rules than like a valued and welcomed guest. I had told the hotel that we were there to celebrate birthdays but more Importantly that we were there with friend whose husband had died a few weeks prior- I only mentioned this because the hotel asked what the reason for our stay was. I had planned to stay again in October when we return for my friends husbands celebration of life at the Portuguese hall but this hotel was just not worth the cost

Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing due to multiple issues throughout the property. There were several large events taking place during our stay, and the lawn and common areas consistently smelled like a bar or fraternity house due to the amount of alcohol being consumed. Because of this, we did not feel comfortable using many of the hotel amenities, including the pool. At night, wedding guests continued partying in their rooms well into the early morning hours. The hotel felt more like a college dorm or apartment complex than a resort, with people partying at all hours. Security was unable to get the situation under control, and eventually the police were called. The following day, we were horrified to see that a member of one of the wedding parties was taken away by ambulance under what appeared to be very serious circumstances. We ultimately asked to move rooms. Unfortunately, we were moved from our suite into a smaller standard room. The air conditioning in our original suite also did not work properly, and we slept terribly the first night. The front desk appeared significantly understaffed. Nearly every time we needed assistance, there was a line and a considerable wait. The standard room we were moved to on the marina side was also disappointing. It felt dated and run down, and the bathroom felt grungy and not particularly clean. We stayed for five nights and paid approximately $3,000, and the experience was absolutely not worth what we paid.

Stayed 1 night

We booked a staycation here for my husband's birthday and had a wonderful overall experience. The property is beautiful, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, our room was spotless, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. The only disappointment was the room category. We paid extra for a Marina View Junior Suite, but our first-floor room (172) overlooked the gate to the adults-only pool, a reserved cabana, and a chain with a reservation sign. The marina was technically there but only barely visible beyond all of those obstructions. We joked that we had more of a "pool gate view" than a marina view. If you're booking for the view, I'd strongly recommend requesting a second floor or higher. The first-floor rooms in Building 7 may technically face the marina, but the actual view is largely blocked and looks nothing like the photos used to advertise the room category. I would have gladly paid more for an upper-floor room had I known. That said, we truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return. Next time, we'll just be sure to request a higher floor so we can enjoy the marina view we were hoping for.
