Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms with a great bed, great bathroom, nice kitchen, and a beautiful view from our balcony, making the stay quite comfortable and updated. However, the dining experience was average to below average considering the hotel rates. The location is great, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Stone Harbor, making it ideal for a quiet weekend getaway. The service was excellent, offering room service, housekeeping, and a free shuttle service.
I stayed at a dune front King suite during peak season. The rooms were beautiful, all white, and very high brow, ensuring a clean and comfortable stay. However, the pricing was on the higher side. The service was excellent with room service, housekeeping, and shops available, but some services like the shuttle were not complimentary. Located right on the beach overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, the hotel offered a convenient bar service and was within walking distance of all shops and restaurants in Stone Harbor. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of authentic dishes available; however, the price was a bit steep. Overall, a great location with lovely amenities.
I was so impressed with this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated in blue and white, recently done, and so perfectly clean. The views from most of the rooms were just stunning, totally worth the price. The service was exceptional, and the location offered a nice surprise with convenient bar service and easy access to the beach.
