"We had the best stay! We were just coming off a 7 day island topping yacht trip so being able to stay in one place and recoup was great. The Beach Club was lovely the restaurants were fabulous, the breakfast that's included was not only delicious but being able to enjoy it on a rooftop restaurant with outdoor space Enjoy the ocean view was a cherry on top. I had a great massage at the spa. The gym was better than most hotels. The only thing I didn't love was the building in front of the hotel that's under construction, blocking part of our view of the water. We did have a huge balcony so you could see the water from most of the balcony and from the bedroom."
