Was told the day before arrival that the lobby was closed. Was supposed to have gotten an Oceanfront Ocean View room and could not see anything because tall bushes were right up against the balcony. Got switched to a new room (cove view) and the phone was ringing solid as we walked in. Had to disconnect it from power and the wall phone jack. Except for Ankit the front desk agent, who was wonderful, the arrival experience was awful. Will not be back.

It was quiet in the evenings and the grounds were beautiful. Parking is tight. And the ocean view is blocked by trees

Beautiful location and lovely grounds. But rooms are not as pictured at all. Several things didn't work in room and at hotel such as outlets, elevator, chairs, etc. Staff was terrible. No housekeeping. Cannot get ahold of anyone have to go to Postcard to talk to front desk. Every time at front desk it takes over an hour. Very rudely kicked off beach twice in different areas to setup for wedding. Very disappointed in stay.

While we're delighted you enjoyed our beautiful property and location, it greatly saddens us to hear we failed to provide the positive experience we're accustomed to, and you were disappointed with your visit. Please accept our apologies for any issues you encountered with your room and if you were not able to locate a member of our team for assistance. We will review the comments you raised internally and work to address what areas need to be improved. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you'll allow us another opportunity to provide the stay you were expecting.
