This place is odd. Super dirty lobby, super dirty hallways but pretty clean rooms. Restaurant hours online are wrong.
Unique hotel with excellent location and sandy beach access that is somewhat separate from the public area. Nice trail system but bring some Deet spray for no problems. The place is being renovated with some construction here and there but the room was clean with nice furnishings, with a spacious lobby and a large room for events. Balconies and exterior could use some attention but we enjoyed the hotel thoroughly and we will return. The excellent staff were very helpful and all were patient and engaging. Some small fixes and easily a 5 star stay.

The hotel sits on the beach and is beautiful and tranquil. What I did not like was the lack of staff involvement with people slamming doors after 9PM and kids shouting in the hall way. There is no concession stand, No grab and Go, No bottled water, Pool is out of service, Staff sat at desk and stayed in their phones, there was no staff interaction accept at check in. The restaurant staff were so very nice and professional. There was No mirror to check my appearance. The lock to a connecting room look cheap. The bed sat on a makeshift platform. The light in bathroom was dim.
The only thing I did not like was we were supposed to have a room facing the lake and we had to look over the building and sculpture to partially see it.
Check in was supposed to be at 4 o'clock. Our room was not ready until seven that evening. Was excuse after excuse after excuse. Management did comp breakfast. The restaurant and server were dirty. Not a pleasant stay.
