Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel needs to ensure staff are available to answer phones for arriving guests, improve staff friendliness, and maintain consistent communication regarding refunds for weather-related cancellations.
- —Management should increase staffing levels during peak seasons or events to reduce meal wait times, which can exceed two hours, and ensure servers remain attentive to guests once they are seated.
- —The property must implement clearer pricing for essential items like sunscreen to avoid "price gouging" accusations and ensure guests are explicitly informed of costs for "off-menu" drinks offered by staff.
