Had a wonderful stay. View is as advertised, while not right on the water, it is visible over the buildings in front. Binoculars are helpful but not need to see whale spouts and breaches in the distance. Resort pools and restaurant, while not as luxurious as some of the other more expensive hotels, were very nice. Only critique would be that room 742 was advertised as a king bed and we would not consider this accurate, so if you truly need a king bed, then this unit does not currently fit that bill. Overall, would definitely stay here, especially in whale season.
