Not exactly a “resort”
We stayed here for a nearby convention. While we technically could see the ocean from the room, the view was much more of the roof and air conditioning units. The entrance to the room was more motel style as the walkway and doors to the rooms were outside. The room was clean and comfortable, but definitely nothing fancy.

Check in time was very slow only one person at the front desk. After over 30 minutes of waiting another person came up from the office to help.

The property was under construction and I was not informed of this prayer to my stay. This caused dust around the check in desk that made it unpleasant to complete the check in process.
The staff was nice and I felt comfortable leaving my car on the property. They did offer transportation to and from the port. This is the main reason for staying at this property. The transportation to the port was good. On the way back we were told that we could catch the bus at any time. Come to learn that there are specific time the bus would be at the port. Causing us to wait for over two hours for a ride back to the property.

2/10 Poor
October 24, 2024
Terrible
First off, the room they gave us was occupied with a sleeping person who was not happy when I opened the door. Good thing he had the latch done on the door.
Then the next room we got, the bathroom door wouldn't close and the shower head pointed out which sprayed the bathroom floor when I turned the shower on. That made a huge mess which required most of our towels to clean it up. The curtains didnt close so we had to use hangers to cinch them closed because the street light was pouring into the room. We did get a free breakfast out of the deal and that was all. There was loud construction outside of our room early and workers at our balcony door working. All in all i was not pleased with the stay.

We stayed one night, the room inside was relatively comfortable, however, we were assigned a room that is right facing a roof with AC unit in front of the view. for $500 a night, this is absolutely not worth it.
