Very Good
Pros +
- Location...they gave us a 10 dollar bottle of champagne which we couldn't drink.
- 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.
Cons -
- Rooms are old. Key cards did not work 3 times so family had to wait outside till I walked back to the office. Binoculars were broken when we arrived.
- 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.
