The hotel has been fully renovated and is gorgeous!! They offer room service and the pool is beautiful. A family of 4, we stayed in one room with 2 queen beds and the room had enough space to accommodate us comfortably. Location is perfect. Parking is around $30 but its easy and worth spending the money rather than trying to find a park miles away. We will be back! I highly recommend.

Property is in the best location at Port Macq. with unforgettable views. Jessica at the front desk provided world class customer service. Hotel staff made sure we received an outstanding welcome with a free bottle of bubbly and a handwritten card for our wedding anniversary. Hotel falls short by not providing bath robes or slippers. Otherwise it would have been 5-star. Charging another $30 per night for secured parking seems a bit excessive. Zebu restaurant downstairs has excellent customer service and very generous servings. “Small” dishes were huge and their fries were massive. $10 off food/ beverages at Zebu if you skip a room clean - they call it a green card. Great idea!

Perfect location for Port Mac. Excellent views if you can swing a water view room. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, beds and pillows comfy (not too soft, not too firm). And the rooms offer privacy (both for you and your neighbours).

I had the best night sleep during our 3 night stay so much so I have googled where to buy the mattresses. So comfortable. We did have a small issue with our apartment on check in but after speaking with Nicole who was so accommodating and professional she moved us to another apartment on the same floor, a quick move and perfect stay. Very central location Buffet breakfast was good It would be good to have a complimentary movie or sport channel.

Rooms were stunning but would have liked a bigger sink in room to wash baby bottles. Location is great with water views but not enough parking unless you pay extra for parking. Staff were amazing, very accommodating and helpful.
