Buyer Beware...I don't mind spending a lot of money as long as you get something good in return. This place really nickel and dimes you and it is EXPENSIVE...not the room rates per se, but all of the peripheral items. $20.00 hamburgers at the pool that are the quality you get at a football game. And you really have no choice because that's the only thing to eat at the pool. 5 people with one burger and 2 drinks apiece yielded a $300.00 lunch bill. You have to pay for beach chairs despite being a guest. For breakfast you only have 2 choices: a nearly $50.00/person buffet or the coffee shop that has $13.00 breakfast sandwiches which was basically an egg Mcmuffin, except egg McMuffins are fresh and have real eggs...this was a microwaved sandwich made of powdered eggs...better meals on an airplane. Parking is $50/day. The rooms were nice, but the hallways were filthy...debris all over the floor as of they hadnt been vacuumed in weeks...the staff for the most part was very friendly but overall a very poor Hilton experience
