More renovations going on than anticipated. Staff was very friendly but property seemed very understaffed and took a long time to get anything. Food at the restaurant was brought out wrong twice and was not on par with other local dining options. My fried oysters were awful. Would consider giving the property another chance after renovations, but too many other options on the island. I also think paying the full resort fee is a little ridiculous considering a lot was closed on the property during Spring Break. We had a good time overall but could have been a lot better.

So awesome we stayed an extra night. The hotel was undergoing some construction so we got a great rate. Pool and beach which is minutes away was ideal for children. Kids bingo at 3:30 with prizes which the children loved. The surrounding area is just immense. Everything you could want in a sea side town. Proper classy place we will be back

Direct access to the beach was great. Bike rental to ride on the beach and around town was very convenient. Didn't like the construction going on. There were limited access to the beach once other events take place. The property will be great once construction is completed.

The property is old and is going through renovations, The entire time at the pool, a loud jack hammer was continuously pounding away. I understand that renovations are needed but let your guests know and reduce the amount of the stay. Been coming here for 20 years.

Construction is being done on the property, our room was next to the project causing us to not be able to sleep in as planned. We requested a room change and it was approved only this time our view was facing the construction. It was also a wedding ceremony on the property, causing us not to have access to the entire property on Saturday evening.

Hotel was undergoing renovations. Unfortunately this wasn’t disclosed anywhere, and it affected our stay. The construction outside by the pool, (we paid extra for a pool facing room) was very disruptive and loud. We were unable to sleep in. They seemed to be understaffed. When we requested housekeeping to set up the pull out couch, they just brought us some bedding and told us to do it. Overall not a horrible experience, but definitely underwhelming

Appreciate the effort into the upgrade of the property but disappointed by Construction & lack of Communication Our stay was deeply underwhelming. The entire resort felt like it was under construction—from our room to the pool and spa. While my massage therapist was excellent, the experience felt rushed and limited by the clock, if allowed could have took away from the relaxation. I did appreciate the accommodation of half prices services since construction is happening. Housekeeping was a major issue: our room was left open by staff (a huge safety concern), and it was either not cleaned or only half cleaned for 3 out of our 4 days. That’s unacceptable at any level of service. To make matters worse, there was no communication about a wedding taking place during our stay. On the wedding day, we were essentially treated like an inconvenience and felt like we couldn’t access the beach without being in the way—something we would’ve appreciated knowing ahead of time. The constant construction noise made enjoying the pool impossible, and overall, the lack of transparency and poor housekeeping really tainted our experience. That said, a few staff members were wonderful. Mr. Charles went out of his way to offer food recommendations and was extremely kind. The woman working nights at the café was consistently polite and welcoming. Sadly, kindness from staff couldn’t make up for how disrupted and disappointing the rest of our stay was.
