...and it was well worth the wait. When checking in, we were upgraded to a suite by a very nice front desk clerk (Don). The room was more than adequately sized with wonderful view of the pools and ocean.
Breakfast (we ordered ala carte) was also fine.
I think the thing that impredded us most was the level of sophistication in the decor. We had stayed here previously (perhaps 18 years ago) and the stay was not pleasant. The rooms were in desperate need of repair and redecoration. We actually felt dirty in the room - the beach was cleaner!
This renovation is so welcome. We love it and will return.
