The property itself is beautiful, with gorgeous views of the beach, the rooms have been recently updated and are modern and fresh. The outer portion of the hotel and surrounding buildings could use more of an update, the brown and green paint make it look old and dreary, pool was mediocre for a 4 star hotel, the pool furniture was old and dirty. The food was delicious, we ordered breakfast to the room and it was great. Presentation in the room was delightful, everything came securely in an adorable picnic basket. In all we enjoyed our stay but the weather ruined our trip as we wanted to enjoy the beach with our young children, weather was cold, cloudy and windy, I recommend checking the weather in advance before booking or you’ll be sadly disappointed like me. Staff stated that the cold, cloudy, weather was normal this time of year for the area, I wish I would have done more research as the beach is a HUGE reason I booked a stay at the resort on the beach, sigh.

Our new "go-to" place
It's our new "go to" place. Facilities are amazing. Pool, the restaurant, the elevated beach front area to watch the waves. The view is amazing. The room is perfect. It has the beach house feel. The bed is very comfortable, and the sheets and pillows are very soft. The bathroom is clean and the whole suite is very well designed. I love the balcony overlooking the ocean. The service is great- they are all very nice and service oriented. Wished we had more time to stay longer. We will be back for sure! A perfect place to relax!

Could be magical…./
This resort has been on my list for a long time after following their IG account. I booked my entire road trip around a 2 night stay at this hotel. Bonus points as they were pet friendly. We booked an ocean front king with a patio. First, the room was perfect! The fenced in patio with 2 Adirondack chairs facing the ocean was magical. Our pups names on the dog bowls and treats was a nice touch. We had a nice dinner at Salt Wood. However, for the price I was extremely disappointed that we weren’t given any notice of the o going construction occurring on property. I appreciate they are making improvement tan but walking through the “resort” Among all the workers felt like a construction site, not a beach getaway yellow caution tape, paint cans, vehicles, landscapers, noise, was rediculous. We paid a hefty price to bring our 2 dogs and the pet relief area was closed die to construction according to a staff member and the area we were shown to use was a dirt field full of stickers/burrs. The only grass on property belonged to the time share units that share the property but posted signage everywhere indicated not to enter with a pet. Another bummer was that our room was directly behind the hotel’s beach sitting area where guests can sot in chairs around Fire pits for sunset. However, guests sit on the beach all day smoking away. Be prepared to wake up and see guests in their bathrobes, chatting loudly on their phones while dragging on their smokes. So disappointing!
