I was really looking forward to my stay, especially given the prime location and stunning views, but I encountered several issues that made the experience less enjoyable. The rooms were spacious yet showing signs of wear and tear, and the service could definitely have been more polished. Dining was nice but felt overpriced given the overall experience. There's potential for improvement, especially considering the high rates they charge.

The hotel has stunning ocean views that definitely add to the charm of the stay. The spacious rooms alongside a cozy ambiance make it appealing, but the service quality is inconsistent, with some issues that detract from the overall experience. Dining is lacking in variety, especially regarding breakfast offerings, which is a letdown given the pricing. Overall, it's a beautiful location but may not be worth the price for everyone.

The Heritage House has incredible ocean views that are absolutely breathtaking and really set the stage for a lovely stay. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by several issues, including a lack of attentive service and room upkeep that left something to be desired. While I appreciated the beautiful surroundings, I can't overlook the significant glitches we encountered during our visit.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. On one hand, the ocean views from my room were absolutely breathtaking and made for a fantastic backdrop. However, I was disappointed to find that the bathroom needed more attention, and the room lacked some of the character I expected for the price. Overall, it was a memorable experience due to the stunning scenery, but the service and upkeep could use some improvement.
