"Loved how close the area was to everything we needed! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. The only thing that I didn’t love was the cost of the valet, I didn’t realize it was valet only when I made the reservation but we didn’t have to drive anywhere so it ended up being fine. The coffee shop being downstairs was super convenient and delicious! Overall a great experience! "

Chaminade Resort & Spa

4.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (1004)
"We really love the hotel. It had everything we needed. The Charging Stations was a major plus. The pools where heated and the Jacuzzi was hot. My only complaint..... the Restaurant was a major disappointment. The staff were nonexistent and the food took almost 45min to come out. Staff never came back to refill our drinks had to track down other waiters or go to the bar. That's a big turn off for me. I wanted to leave a $5 tip and a note! And I'm a great tipper."
