This hotel is absolutely GORGEOUS! Every detail is solidly and thoughtfully constructed, from the chair rail lining the hallway to the sliding bathroom door. But form without function is of little value, and the staff brings the function in spades. Everyone we met went out of their way to answer our questions. Special shout out to Reginald at the concierge desk-he was kind, knowledgeable and generous with his time and helped us to book an amazing outing! He knows the area and the hotel inside out and made our stay even better. The property is located across from the beach-it’s an easy 5 minute walk to the water and the pier as well. There are many restaurants adjacent-don’t skip Hello Beach! for some truly delicious food. There are also several restaurants and bars within the property, and a gorgeous indoor pool plus a stunning outdoor pool as well. We will definitely be back!

This was a really nice and really comfortable hotel. The room was beautiful! I did a massage at the spa too and it was wonderful. It’s not on the water but it has great views of the water. They had a mall attached to it that we walked around and at dinner there. It was very nice.

Hotel was lovely. Easy free parking. Situated right night to a small mall where we had dinner in a restaurant on the seafront. This was great. Room was large and so was the bathroom. Windows opened fully to show sea and pool view. Only stayed one night. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was breakfast. This looked like it would be lovely but didn’t taste great, particularly the pancakes and coffee.

It is an nice hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. They are under staffed in the breakfast area or the staff are.very well managed. The assistant manger was excellent. She resounded personally to some feedback I gave about the state of the gym equipment. And gladly extended by check out time. I would happily recommend it as a place to stay in PE
