The problem I have has nothing to do with the property! I have an issue with Expedia! The stay was paid for by Expedia, but for some reason I had to pay the ammount again when I got to the hotel?? very confused and unhappy— but the hotel is amazing!! Their billing problems and communication with Expedia are bad!

Property management (Jackie) went above and beyond to ensure her staff were responsive to us. Any other criticism of the property is due to its age or physical limitations (no pool).

There was no view of the beach from my room. Very disappointing. Their website would lead one to believe they were getting a beach view and the cost of the room was very excessive in my view. I did not have the breakfast, and I was provided with a coffee machine in my room, I just hope I wasn't charged extra for that..In the room, a $3.98 Snickers bar was $7.00. Just a bit over the line, don't you think. I loved the decor of surfing and the Privacy card was in the shape of a surfboard. They would not put my son's phone through to me. That night, a lovely desk attendant made a note on my file and the next day the call went through. First day was upsetting as he had to come to the hotel to see if I was ok.
