We were disappointed that we had to wait in our room for 3 hours for the hotel to make and deliver keys for our room, especially since we were only there for one night and wanted to go to the beach before dinner.

Our room was clean and spaceous. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach access was easy and awesome. Because of the hurricane, several restaurants were closed, plus we were on the 5th floor and every morning at 8am, the construction right above our room started (hammering, drilling, etc). That was a huge disappointment.

AC not ok

Stay was great. Only complaint is the AC in the room would not allow us to set it below 70 degrees. So the room was stuffy and warm at times.

Loved that every room is beachfront. Well-kept rooms and beach. Good convenient onsite food options. Walkable to restaurants. Conscientious staff. Quiet mornings other than twice workers remodeling roof started work very early. Worst was the bed - double was short, sheets didn't fit, wood frame jutting out past mattress is walking hazard.

Proximity to beach, room was perfect for two which was a King studio. Will be great when island view roof top opens. All extra charges a bit much for beach chairs etc but discount nice. Lady at Graces treated me poorly, every morning i would go for 2 large coffees and felt it was an issue to get served on my last day i did the same 2 large coffees, while she was filling my cups a 2nd guy came up and ordered 2 large coffees, she said here you go giving hom mine, the gentleman said are you sure these are mine while i stood there between them she said yes, he knew theu weren't but she emphasize they were. So i had to wait while she took care of him to get my coffees. Typically when im treated poorly i would say something, this tome i didn't and even tip her. But i told my wife i should go back and asked her why? I didnt, she was training someone also. Tempted to send her name. Disappointed guest.

Our stay was over all amazing. We arrived early and checked in but our room was not quite ready. They called us as soon as it was and we appreciated that. While we waited we ate a late breakfast at the cafe on the first floor. Service was fast at first. Our food arrived and was brought by someone other than who took our order. It was not even warm but no one was around to tell. We ate because we were starving and finished before anyone came back.
