Positive: Cleanliness, Aesthetically pleasing, Friendliness, Peaceful
Negative: We arrived to eat at 11:15 but our reservation was at noon. We went to see if we could be seated earlier and that’s when we were told that it is closed 11:00 to 12: 00 for switching out from breakfast to lunch. The matre’de was nice enough to seat us early and gave us the menu. After reviewing the menu, she came out and told us that if we wanted a burger, it would be at least an hour before they could serve that. Of course that’s what we wanted.
Summary: Delightful

Positive: Beautiful resort and un-matched location. You can see both the Atlantic and the sound from the upstairs lobby area. Outside facilities are really nice (even though much was closed due to the off season). Very nicely decorated. Lots of amenities (in normal season) and would be great for families.
Negative: Multiple problems with state of repair and cleanliness. Dead mesquites all over the window trim and woodwork in upstairs lobby. The place was only at 10% capacity (per employe) yet they couldn't clean the areas people congregate in. Our room, #316, had a broken door stop, closet doors which need adjusted and won't close properly, a TV which has Direct TV service but couldn't receive major networks, and spotty internet coverage. We and another guest smelled the pungent aroma of pot having been smoked in the downstair lobby area of the south hotel building. Not good. Pillows not very comfy. The restaurant - The Life Saving Station - does not have its outside lights on and looks closed. We wandered in for dinner and were the only one there. No wonder, people just drive by thinking it is closed.
Summary: Very nice place, needs some basic cleaning and maintenance during the slow season.

Positive: The decor in the rooms and the wallpaper. It all looked so elegant. The beach was very close.
Negative: I didn't feel the pricing was not appropriate for the time spent. I tried calling for someone to help with my bags as I was leaving because I was packing up for 3 people and they never answered the phone. It's a very nice place, but it is very expensive for a one-night stay especially due to nothing being included or complimentary. Also, I was there to surprise my 75 year old gma with a birthday gift, but also was scouting the place for my upcoming wedding. When I let the staff know of my plans to return, it didn't really feel like they would care either way. I was expecting more of a tour or even a pamphlet with important wedding information considering this resort is suppose to also be a wedding venue.
