This is really a diamond in the rough in need of some polish in some areas. The room was renovated in cool colors and I had a view of the pool and ocean. The front desk was very accomodating and efficient. They are constructing added meeting space and condos and the noise is disturbing at the pool. If you want sun all day, go right at the towel hut and stay within 50 yds of it. The staff at the kiddie pool - Cookies World were very nice. You had to go to the pool bar yourself for your $10 drink - unacceptable. The service in the cafe is pretty bad- refills? Tackle a waiter.
All the action was down at South Beach - about $8 cab ride to Lincoln (16 1/2th) for restaurants.
Friday night the lounge had a terrific little jazz group.
Pros: Beautiful grounds, History, Kid friendly
Cons: , Lack of service
