    We stayed for 6 days and could not get anyone to clean our room, change the sheets or do anything of the sort. They argued when we asked for the room to be cleaned and then said it would be done the day before we left and still didn't. The cleaners would come at 8am and then when asked if they could come by later agree and never come back.

    The pool was very nice and the room was spacious. We enjoyed the on-site amenities. Very simple and close beach access was a plus.

    I was surprised and a little annoyed by the "Destination Fee" of $30 a day. It forced us to use it in some way since we were told that it was not refundable. We were already paying about $400 each night for the room, so this seemed a little excessive. Also, the kitchen was not equipped with a large frying pan, something standard for Homewood Suites by Hilton. Someone at the front desk tried to find one but came back with nothing. I ended up buying our own at a shop in town.

    At breakfast, there was not any Raisin Bran as a cereal option. Also, include a little more fresh fruit. Fresh berries would have been nice. The room we had was very nice. It was a little smaller in the living room area than we expected but it was nice to have to have the outdoor balcony with a great view of the ocean. The staff were very nice, especially the waitresses at "The Shore" restaurant.

    The only downside was the food served at the "included" breakfast. Eggs are from a box and taste that way, boiled sausage is a little unsettling. Your guests deserve real food.

    Prime location on the beach. Wonderful staff, especially Cris, who served us at the bar. Spacious room was very comfortable. Coming back.

    Breakfast ran out of food each, not refreshed or replaced and a sign said “out of food, closing early” that stinks. I paid 350 a night! Plus they won’t clean the room each night.

    I hated the censored controlled AC, our room was 75 degrees every day when we got back, definitely bring a fan if you're a hot sleeper. All of our silverware in the drawer was dirty and still had food on it, and the coffee pot in the room was dirty. The bed is a little stiff to my taste but wasn't horrible. The shower had absolutely no water pressure, so showers were not enjoyable.

    The staff from the front desk, bar, and restaurant were great!! The food at The Shore was delicious! The views are amazing! I love that the staff was laid back!

    The male manager was cold and quite rude when checking in. We were originally told our room would be ready by 1:30, but had to wait u til 4 to get into our room. When I asked the manager the status, his attitude was rough. Never smile upon ckg in and actually made us fee uncomfortable

    The breakfast was common and fair. Some fresh fruit and pastries would have been nice

    View could have been better as was ocean view room and part of view was blocked by roof. Found a few small roaches in bathroom.

    Great location down a little from shopping and restaurants. Nice size room, big bed, sitting area and full kitchen. Breakfast was great, lots of choices and was very good.
