beachfront bliss

varied selection beachfront tables nice atmosphere
The complimentary breakfast had a varied selection, very satisfying. i especially enjoyed the tables on the beach, where i could enjoy my meal with my feet in the sand. the location is definitely a plus. It is well-located with a nice atmosphere (i loved it).
I think the staff could be more helpful. They weren't always so friendly, and customer service training could improve guest interactions.
Service

the staff tried their best to assist, and a few went out of their way. however, the front desk commitment could improve for a 4-star hotel experience, i noticed.
Dining

the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options (omelets were especially good). there was also a free snacks and cocktail hour on friday afternoon between 6 pm and 7 pm.

I was so impressed with this hotel's beachfront location! it made every morning special. i got a complimentary upgrade to a signature ocean view room and it was fine. The balcony was perfect! the staff were attentive too, even arranging a late check-out so i could enjoy the beach longer. dining at the island trader was amazing. I loved the fresh fish and omelets!
