When I pulled up to this area, I was surprised it is a religious retreat area. I am fairly religious so no worries there -- I enjoyed the chimes on the hour and half hour and periodic hymns played by the bells -- but I did wonder if I went to the right place. But wowza! The front desk was terrific and, when I had an issue with the room in the middle of the night, I received swift and wonderful assistance. Great people, BEAUTIFUL campus to walk, and peaceful so one can relax and then hit the crowds of the beaches and shopping area for a nice balance. I will be going back!

Pictures are deceiving. Just a Methodist retreat masquerading as a luxe hotel. Rooms are like Grandma's condo purchased in the 80s. There are 2 buildings. One is not pictured. I believe called Robertson. Don't accept that. No patio or non-sealed windows. Older too. People near me partied until 2am. Reception just shrugged when I told them. It obviously had been going on w/o being remedied. No one there at night to call. It's just not a professional hotel. Good view and grounds though. Sand fleas nipped me while walking around.

Not the best experience and expensive

For the price, the rooms were not the cleanest, were very old and the beds were not comfortable. We were woken up by house keeping multiple times asking when we were checking out after our first night when we booked for two nights. Went to front desk and they also did not show our second night. We had to show our hotels.com booking to prove we paid for 2 nights. We were placed at the back of the property away from all amenities when the hotel was almost empty. No vending machines. Not the best experience would not recommend especially for the price. Felt more like a $89/nightly motel vs $150+ nightly rate.
