just stayed 4 nights at the Hilton with my family. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite in the Dolphin Tower. The room looked beautiful when we arrived until I saw an old skittle on the rug and also a smart watch near the end of my bed. This is disgusting as I felt my room was not vacuumed. We had two double beds in the bedroom and a pull out sofa in the other room. When we opened the sofa bed that night it was like laying on a hard grid. I called downstairs to reception and they sent up a foam cushion to put on the bed. It helped but still wasn't that comfortable because the bed caved in, in the middle. Also during the day when the bed was folded, there was no where to store the foam pad. The 2 beds were comfortable but the pillows were too firm. The rest of the room was good, I loved the room darkening shades. I was disappointed that I was unable to use the steam room in the spa unless you booked a spa service. For the extra daily rate added to the price of the room, guests should be able to use the sauna or steam room, even if you do not book a spa. They told me it was $60 extra just to use the steam room, no thanks! I checked in on a Wednesday and we were literally the only ones by the pool that day. It was very windy so we sat on the lounge chairs looking at the beach on the waterslide side. The manager came over and told us that was the reserved section and we could not sit there, even though the it was a ghost town. My family of 5 were the ONLY ones by the pool. Why would they charge so much more just to sit in those chairs? We only wanted to sit there because it was not as windy. They have waterslides by the pool which was nice for the kids but everyday they are closed for about an hour mid day so the lifeguard can take a break. This was very annoying, they should have enough staff to cover her break. Overall, I was not that impressed with the hotel for the amount of money I paid, around $600 a night. The manager should have let us stay where we were since there was no one at the pool that day. I think I'll go back to the Hyatt when I visit Huntington next. It was slightly more money but you get a lot more at the hotel. We actually went there twice for dinner and it was excellent! Read less

I have stayed at this resort a few times. I have always been happy here. The staff is so kind and welcoming. Everything from check in, to check out was flawless. Surf Hero Market place is a great place to get your morning coffee. They also have very tasty gelato. Cabo Beach Club was a great place to enjoy lunch poolside. They have great indoor seating, but I loved being outdoors. Henry's Coastal Cuisine had a great wine selection and the appetizers were delicious. On my last night of my stay, there was a small water leak in my bathroom. I called guest services, and with in minutes, they had me upgraded to a suite at no additional charge. They always go above and beyond here. I highly recommend staying here. Read less

We love this hotel. The room was comfortable and had two queen beds. There is a desk area and large bathroom. The bathroom had seen better days (why they lost a star) but the beds were very comfortable. What sets this hotel apart is the staff - service is outstanding.

The bathroom had seen better days (why they lost a star) but the beds were very comfortable. What sets this hotel apart is the staff - service is outstanding. There is a shuttle available to take you downtown or to grab some groceries for the room. There is a pool, ping pong table, two restaurants and a bar. We had a snack at the new restaurant/bar owned by Van Halen front man, Sammy Hagar and it was good. Overall, great stay. Read less

I came on a Friday night and although the wind was a little high, Kiana made our experience exceptional. She was quick with the service and her drinks were great! I would come her during a hurricane if it meant Kiana my server

Just want to say that Jordan at the front desk blessed us with a bottle of champagne and an upgrade for our 45th anniversary. Really felt the staff enjoyed working there to make guests feel cared for....
