I struggled with what to rate this property. The hotel itself is lovely -- very large rooms with balconies overlooking the ocean (my room was entry level and had a separate bedroom, full kitchen, large balcony and a water cooler (nice touch)); a beautiful pool; large, well-equipped gym; nice spa; and good restaurants. If I reviewed the hotel in a vacuum, I would give it 5 stars. But the hotel is very expensive (when you add in resort fees and taxes, it is well over $700 a night for an entry level room if you prepay - more if you don't). And for that cost, I expect a large private beach, a tub in the bathroom, and enough chaise lounges for the number of guests. The Kimpton, though lovely was on a long (but not wide) public beach filled with other hotels all butting up against one another. There were tons of people and not a lot of space. And there were a lot of security guards guarding the property at the beach area, which made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Additionally, the hotel does not have enough chaise lounges and all were reserved by early rising guests by the time I got down to the pool r beach at 10am. And, as large as the bathroom is in the room it only has a shower and no bath. Move this hotel to a private beach and add chaises and I would happily pay the $700 for the room/night. But as it is, I would much rather got a resort in Hawaii, Mexico, or the Caribbean and have a more relaxed, private, luxurious experience.
