I loved this hotel, it was close to the boardwalk and the wharf, prime location. The staff were great and very friendly, and the actual look of the hotel was beautiful, so many stunning details to this hotel. The only downside was that we only stayed one night. I will definitely be back to enjoy the hotel for longer next time.

Amenities are amazing when you can use them. Touting yourself as a “luxury 5 star resort” isn’t necessarily accurate when you tell guests who pay for late checkout at 1pm that at 1:01pm “you’re no longer a guest; you can no longer use the pool and must leave”.

Great hotel with all the amenities you could possibly need. The food at their restaurants is great as well!

Probably the coolest hotel I’ve stayed at in as far as I can remember. The decor was out of this world! The bed was absolutely fabulous! Loved the little extras (night time surprises on my pillow, cold lavender towels and popsicles by the pool). Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at. The rooms were fantastic with all the pluses you would want. Close to the pier and boardwalk, excellent restaurants, a spa. And the staff went above and beyond - from valet, to front desk, breakfast, the spa. These people understand what it takes for you to feel taken care of.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This was the most beautiful place I have ever spent at. The only bad thing is when coming into valet, no where to park and its a little Discombobulated. The whole hotel made up for it though. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Definitely will stay here again.
