We noticed that the hotel was having a lot of work done on it but surprisingly at no time did we hear anyone work or did it interfere with our stay. Nicely located for a walk along the beach or a short ride into downtown to see the various sites the hotel is one to stay at. Pool was a good size with plenty of space and the bar and food service around the pool was exceptional. Staff very attentive and service was top draw would recommend it Read less

This is the nicest W I have ever stayed with. It truly is a resort, and the staff and management are doing a superb job running the hotel, and communicating with guests and finding out what it is that YOU want when you stay. Every member of the staff that interacted with me was genuinely upbeat and pleasant. If the "Insider" (W's concierge) reaches out to you ahead of your visit, answer them! This hotel is more upscale in its interiors, service, and price than most W hotels. It seems popular with both couples and families - and the pool area was crowded without being over-crowded on a December weekend afternoon. A couple things to be aware of: there is live music til between midnight and 1 am on many nights - and if you are a person who likes to go to bed early, you should consider requesting a quieter room ahead of time. And - the best meal I had there was a simple sandwich at the poolside bar and grill. And if you get to your room and something is amiss - call the team. They will fix it! Read less

Love the hotel and the staff. We met Tyler, one of the workers in the pool and he was the best! Also, the receptionist Rita was fantastic. The gym is also great, but I would suggest not having colective classes there, because it is really incovenient for those who are training.
