Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room was so beautiful, overlooking the ocean. We slept to the sounds of the ocean each night. We were traveling without kids but it was clearly a family-friendly place. Loved Roxy at the front desk. What a character. Highly recommend a weekend stay at this lovely place.

I enjoyed my stay. The room was very comfortable, clean, and I loved having a fireplace. Views were fantastic. My one quibble would be the lack of a complimentary breakfast, considering the price. A microwave or larger fridge would've made life easier, but for one person, using the mini-fridge was doable.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Terrible stay. Avoid.

They say they have room service from their restaurant but the person who takes the orders is never there. We got locked out of our hotel room I. The middle of the night and had to wait an hour and a half in their break room so that the manager could show up with the fire key because no one on site knew that it existed. The WiFi never worked and the hot tub had no functioning jets. They have firepita you can use but they are communal so random strangers will just show up and join your party. It was the single worst hotel experience of my life. I went there for a romantic getaway with my girlfriend and we had so many problems with hote that we had no fun. Ended up fighting as a result and this fing place has probably cost me my relationship. I’m never coming here again and I curse the owners of this terrible place for all time

Alright

My stay at cavalier was good not what I expected. They said I was gonna get a complimentary bottle of wine and we didn’t get anything and the description was not accurate I was hoping it to be a better place but overall had a good time.
