The curio by Hilton is riding the coast tails of the former Westin and their reputation. Don't know if the remodeling was actually an improvement. It now smells like curry in the jungle instead of white tea and aloe which once infused in the air conditioning system. The new bar has taken away from the awe inspiring ocean view from the lobby, and causes a little more humidity indoors. Also eliminating revolving doors and door men, to hard to open doors to the pool. Which you have to walk past bar patrons in your suit to get to. Akward. Bathrobes are gone, Starbucks in the kureg is now a Nespresso machine no one could figure out, and all drinks are $15 or more. But sunrise yoga instructor zens out your frustration and the ladies in the Counter Point get you caffeinated and sassy for the day.
