Pros +

  • The Cavalier was great!! We’ll definitely be returning. The grounds were gorgeous and everything inside and outside was pristine. Beds were very comfortable and layout was perfect with a nice coffee area near the sink. It was truly one of the best rooms!
  • The view was beautiful from most rooms. If your room wasn't along the ocean, there was walking paths to view the beach.
  • On the beach

Cons -

  • Nothing major! It would have been really nice if the hot tolub was open a little later; it closed at 9pm.
  • Restaurant wasn't the best for what the hotel offers. With the location and views, I had higher expectations for the food quality.
  • Air conditioning not working
