Pros +

  • Perfect location. Easy walk to restaurants. Use of beach facitities with sister resort just down the road.
  • Nice property overall, but completely overpriced. We paid $650 per night and were given a 350-square-foot room overlooking the parking lot. To make matters worse, there was construction on the beach, so we couldn’t even walk along the shore.
  • Proximity to beach and job site for work

Cons -

  • Rip OFF.
  • Decor was a bit garish and too contrived.
  • Elevators were really slow.

Close to the beach, gorgeous view. Close to St Armand’s. Pool, restaurant and bar were friendly.

Elevators were really slow.
