The parking fee of $44 per night seems a bit expensive especially considering the Marriott next door doesn’t charge nearly as much. There wasn’t any soap in my bathroom. Even after the housekeeper came and change the sheets on the bed, the sill didn’t check to make sure there is soap in the shower. I was quite disappointed with that.

The air conditioning was not working for a full day and night. I asked the front desk to send someone to fix it three times. Finally someone came and did a quick fix it worked for 15 mins and stopped. No one ever came back to fix it after that!

The shampoo and body wash bottles in the shower were completely empty. Considering these are mounted bottles that are full size, it is obvious that staff was not checking these bottles or refilling them regularly. Called down to the front desk and asked for someone to bring some. Almost 30 minutes later we received multiple travel size bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash - all different brands, none the same brand as what was in the shower. Seemed very strange alternative to just refilling the bottles. Also the fact that all three products were different brands almost seemed like they sent someone to the local store and just purchased whatever they found on the shelf. In the overall issue, the problem was solved, however in a very absurd way.

The property is perfect. The pool with drink service, warm water as well. Very family friendly. The rooms were clean with great views all the way up to the floor. I’ll say parking is a little confusing with the QR code but it’s okay once you get it. The onsite restaurant is a little vegan in the side so if you’re not into that it’s okay. Awesome stay, will be coming back.

The hotel was lovely and clean and we enjoyed our 1 night stay. The main reason for the poor review was that we were charged $90 on our credit card for no apparent reason. The hotel was unable to tell us the reason for the charge or reverse it. We had to try sorting it out through our credit card. Overall frustrating experience.

The posting for this property is grossly misstated. There is an additional hidden $30 charger per night that can’t be waived. Parking is an additional $50 per night. And there is a falsely advertised EV charging. Will never stay again.

Out of Conditioner for the 1st night. this hotel does not have wheel chairs for guests - all other hotels I have been at, offer wheel chairs for their guest. 2nd night - desk help didn't put us in a room that was less to walk to. I have a disability, and h ad a terrible time getting to our room. The desk attendant said she gave us a room close to the elevator - but we were on the first floor, far away from the front area. Very long walk. We asked for a view of the inner coastal area - our view was the side of a big boat. where people were walking side to side, seeing right into our room. This was not a view at all! It remained there the next morning as well. Very disapointed!

Our stay was awful! We did not get the room we originally booked with a king size bed. They gave us a double bed room with two small beds. My husband and I couldn’t eve sleep together in the same bed. Everything was falling apart in the room. The room was horrible especially for the price we paid.

This was out second night here. Our first night was a mess, and I wrote a review reflecting that. Things began to get better last night with the service received after our calls and visit to the front desk concerning our overflowing toilet issue we had a chat with kevin at the front desk this morning. Kevin cared. He took time to listen, take notes, most of all offer a sincere apology. He wiped out our extra fees, gave us honors credits, and moved us to a much more appropriate room.

Wow, where do I start. How about the advertised rate of $175 per night that is actually about $300 per night after fees, including your choice of a $50/day valet fee or $46/ day to park your own car. Then there's the "marina view" I will submit a picture if possible we are on the second floor overlooking the pool. If I go out on the balcony, and bend over, i can see the marina. In the marina are 4 yachts with party people making as much noise as they like. Management can't do anything because it's not their property. The staff will happily answer questions, and get you things if you ask them, but do not offer helpful information on things like how to get to your room, where you can use your $20 food credit that comes out of your $30 resort fee, where to get the beach towels that the resort fee also includes any details about the beach shuttle service or valet service. In fact we were told valet was $50, front desk had to clarify it was $50 per day. The front desk person mis spoke causing alarm and just rolled right through as though he never made the mistake. All in all a disappointing experience. I can not believe it bears the Hilton name.

I booked my room and was told there would be a few (small) perks. I received an email TWO days before check in that the free breakfast and welcome drink that came with my room booking would NOT be honored. I was told the hotel apologized for any inconvenience, and they would waive the resort fee (of $30). I checked in bc it was too late to change hotels, and they not only put my in a lousy room, but also "could not find the message that indicated my resort fee would be waived". I'll NEVER stay her again. On the up side, folks were at least friendly, so that's a plus.
