Sunsets and Waves
Reviewed By FarAway15541548753It was a wonderful stay, just to sit and watch the sun go down in the evenings from our own porch, watch the sea life during the day, and hear the waves at night. It is a great location. Hope to be there again!

Property is beautiful, service not so much.
Reviewed By TraveleratlanticFirst the good....The property and location is beautiful and convenient. We have stayed here for the past 4 years. Kevin is the manager and while we were there we had the heating unit go out in the room. He was quick to check it and get us into another room quickly. This was not an issue as things will break and it was handled quickly. Rooms are clean and the view is great. Now for the bad....they are having staffing issues. They do not provide daily room service. They do charge an amenities fee in addition to the cost of the room. I knew that and didn't have a problem. On their website it says the fee is for the soaps, in room coffee, breakfast, and pool usage. While we we there we ran low on toilet paper. My wife went to the front desk to get more....she was told they didn't have any they would call housekeeping. So I went over an asked if I needed to buy some while I was out and was told no housekeeping would bring some and the lady at the front desk handed me a box of tissues. We left for a few hours and when we came back still have not gotten any. Back to the lobby and a new person was working. Told her. She ran and got some for us. The other issue was breakfast. Breakfast is served from 7 to 10. Day 1 no issues. Selection of hot biscuit sandwiches, cereal, pastries, fresh fruit. Day 2 got there at 9. No hot sandwiches left and they were not making more. Ok we were a little late. Day 3 get to breakfast at 730. Hot sandwiches gone they said they ran out. Not happy so I will have a muffin with cream cheese. Container is empty so I ask if they could get some more....nope they don't have anymore cream cheese. They said the order didn't come. I am pretty sure the grocery stores in town would have some. You would think they would have sent staff for something like that. Remember they are charging the extra fee for the amenities. The lack of staff should not be the guest problem it is a corporate problem. If you charge a fee for service you should provide the service or eliminate the fee. The brag about the properties being premier properties. They need to figure out how to provide premier service. Again the manager is great but corporate needs to provide him with the tools to do the job. Newport Hotels runs the property.
