Wow! A great property with excellent service in a wonderful location! Checking in and out was extremely easy, and our room was ready early. The room had a nice balcony facing the water and the walk-in shower was large with good pressure and temperature control. It had so many good restaurants onsite or nearby. And the breakfast was exceptional, the best I’ve had in a hotel. Definitely include it when booking the room of when you check in.
