I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying stunning views of Frenchman's Bay from my room. While the staff was mostly friendly and accommodating, I encountered a couple of issues that left me wanting more, particularly with the dining experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and a couple of disappointments. The location is truly breathtaking, offering a serene view of the harbor, and the amenities are nice, especially the pool area. However, my room did not have the ocean view I anticipated, and the dining experience was a little underwhelming for the price. Overall, it's a good place if you get a room with a view.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful, with stunning views of the harbor right from our room. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. However, we did have some issues with the Reading Room's menu, which was somewhat limited compared to past experiences. The hotel also has a peaceful ambiance perfect for relaxation, but the lack of an easily accessible bathroom for our room was inconvenient. Overall, despite a few drawbacks, this place truly offers a memorable experience.
