NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed May 23, 2024
We have been going to HPI for over 30 years and this time the housekeeping was the worst we have ever had. We arrived on a Sunday and left Saturday. Not one time did they vacuum our room. This is beachfront property so you can imagine the sand brought in. We ran out of toilet paper and had to go to the front desk to get more. They took away all our shampoo/condition, etc....WHY! The rooms need updating so badly. The tubs you have to literally crawl out of. Please as much as you are charging at least update the tubs and the carpet. The carpet is ripped in so many places. We continue to come back because we love the location but please please do so updating!!! We are not the only ones complaining everyone is complaining. Robert, the bartender and Greg the chef and the kitchen manager in the morning is truly our highlight! I truly hate to complain but I believe those reading this review need to know! This property is truly so beautiful but it could be so more better!
Date of stay: May 2024
Room Tip: Just know that the rooms need uupdating!

Location is absolutely beautiful.

Dinner service at Beach Walk Café was very good however my chicken was not cooked properly, greasy and chewy and did not come with a vegetable - only potatoes which I thought was odd. My husband enjoyed his crab cakes and lionfish very much! In fact, he mentioned they were the best crab cakes he has ever had. The bread and butter was delicious.

24-hour snacks provided and Starbucks coffee was appreciated – especially since our in room coffee was not replenished by housekeeping.

There is a difference between nautical-rustic and dated. Our room was quite dated which surprised me as I was told that we were in the newer building. Our ceiling was leaking (bottom floor room) on our last day - to the point that we had to put the ice bucket on the floor to catch the water. We were in room109. It was quite obvious when looking at the ceiling that this is an ongoing issue. The right-hand door leading out to the balcony was clouded and obstructed our beautiful view which was disappointing. Shower water pressure was also less than desirable.

Housekeeping was definitely lacking. Dirty coffee cups were ignored and coffee and creamer were not replenished. Basically, all we could see that happened was the bed was made and towels were hung. My socks were dirty from walking on the floor.

Service at the Tiki Bar was also lacking to the point where at one point, we got up and left without being served due to the fact that the bartender was MIA. (the gentleman bartender was very friendly and much more attentive than the female who seemed quite flustered)

All in all, for almost $6,000 (6 nights total), we were quite disappointed.

This was our 40th. We absolutely enjoyed the stay! The attention to detail by the staff was awesome. The food in the cafe was the best.

We had walked by the inn a few years ago and thought it looked very charming. We looked it up before this visit and booked our reservation. We could not be happier that we did. Everyone was so helpful and charming. The food was delicious and the general vibe of the place was friendly and welcoming. The out door bar is a blast, and Robert is the perfect bartender.

First time here, and last. This hotel is not just dated, it's downright dirty. It's like staying in your grandmother's house if she didn't clean it in forever. Air "vents" are blocked with grime. Much dirt/dust collecting in corners. Carpeting filthy. Nothing's updated, bathrooms are old & sad, poor lighting, cracked tub with ugly patchwork. Just going through the motions and charging exorbitant rates. And on top of those, they charge both a $25/Resort Fee, AND a $40 "Service Fee". If you want to feel like you're in a Seinfeld episode, call and ask what exactly those fees are for. The only good things to say are that the restaurant food was very good, most of the staff were nice, and it's on a beautiful beach.

Room tip: Ask them about all their hidden fees.
