The beach and roof terrace/bar are amazing with the best views of the ocean and sunset. Friendly staff, easy check in and accessible parking. They need to work a little with the room cleanness and maintenance, my room -411- had some water intrusion coming from beneath the floor (but not a big deal). But overall rooms and good size and beds are comfy. The Bongos grille at the beach is very good and well-priced. The beach umbrellas or cabanas with chairs included is a plus-plus. Definitively will be coming back.

4/10 Fair

There is 2 elevators in this hotel and the Staff could only keep 1 of them in working order throught the entire labor day weekend. The late night valet was extremely rude to my girlfriend when getting back from our night out in telling us we couldnt park in the same spot we had been parked for 2 nights. The beach access/cabanas were very nice but the overall price of everything was extremely overpriced. Spinners restaurant on top floor was very good and priced well for what you receive - the rotating views.

Nice beach location. Not very centrally located so renting a car would have been helpful to avoid racking Uber charges up. Room was clean and loved that it’s a short walk to the beach and a cabana is included. Drinks and food are over priced for the quality of them. 90 dollars for 4 Pina coladas is a bit absurd to me. Also make sure to have snacks in the room because everything classes by 10 food wise. So late night snacking is a fail. Staff was very accommodating. I would stay again just would rent a car, get snacks and avoid the drink prices.

The elevators weren’t working so everyone had to use the service elevator or stairs but it wasn’t terrible. The hotel was great. The rooftop bar was awesome with the DJ. Bongo’s restaurant on the beach is really cool and the food was delicious. We enjoyed room service for dinner when there was a brief rain shower. The beach in front of the Bellwether is amazing! Staff was friendly and the room was really comfortable. Will definitely return and hope the elevators are working by then.

Surprising
Surprisingly, I really liked the hotel. The unfortunate experience of having their elevators broken is what brought my rating down. I understand things may be broken, but the hotel shouldv'e compensated in other ways. Waiting 20 minutes for a service elevator while the maintence men rode up and down is unacceptable. And yes, we did speak to the front desk (manager wasn't available).

The hotel is decent, the beach is beautiful. The beach bar has decent food and good cocktails. The hotel seems a bit in disrepair, their elevators were down leaving a full hotel only with a smelly and just not kept up service elevator to use for guests and team members trying to manage. Front staff at night wasn’t very friendly. The last 2 times I’ve stayed here it was nice, however, after this stay, I am not sure I want to return.
