Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
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.
