The property was well kept and beautifully decorated. The "valet only" parking on property seemed unnecessary as the property's buildings are spread out with parking near each building, making it difficult to come and go in vehicles. The morning of our checkout date, our building's hot water heater was replaced without notification to those of us staying in the building. Due to this, there was no water pressure and no hot water. Cold showers for all before departure.

Views are nice on the beach side of hotel. Quiet. One thing, not sure if it was hotel policy but when we arrived I had to take my luggage and stack them on the bell hop cart myself. Other than that great stay.
