Everything was very nice. We stayed off season so the main hotel was closed. The new sections has 3 WIFI networks. Unfortunately the guest wifi would not work after 7PM. We were unable to stream, or use air play or even use 5G on our phones. After the first evening, I asked to use the one of the employee WiFis and was told they would reset the router. They did but again it would not work after 7PM.

Though the area was beautiful, we originally selected a room with an ocean view. We were contacted by a staff member, who let us know we could not actually have an ocean view but we could have another water view. We said sure. When we arrived, we saw that we just had a view of the side of the building and snowbanks. Perhaps there was water down below but we could not see it. The check in person was nice, but since it's winter we had to go to the Coveside Market to get checked in. He gave us a sheet of paper with directions for Wifi/TV. The wifi was easy to connect to but we had a horrible connection that was extremely slow and kept cutting in and out. The TV was difficult to use, and when we finally found something we wanted to watch the show kept cutting in and out, then we would have to fast forward from the beginning every time, only for it to work for 5 minutes then cut out. We did not call the after hours number because this was not an emergency, but it was extremely frustrating to say the least. This was supposed to be our celebration getaway after getting married, and it really didn't live up to hopes or expectations.

A gem!

My wife and I stayed here in the new cove side rooms for Valentines weekend. From the pre check in courtesy call, and the welcomed mid stay call from Mike that my wife’s lost wallet was found near the market, to the very spacious, comfortable room and stay, we couldn’t have been more pleased. Great location.
