"A luxury, beachfront hotel positioned as a beachside home base where guests can relax and enjoy refined coastal amenities and services." - AFAR
"A hotel with nautical-chic rooms and suites, all with balconies." - John Paul Brammer
"The spacious lobby is your first indication that this is a hotel where you can choose your own adventure. Upon check-in, you’ll be notified of the perks and amenities that come along with your room key: beach chairs and an umbrella, access to the pool, and even complimentary water taxi passes. Those who want to eat on property will be directed to Burlock Coast or the Poolside Café. Both menus offer a mix of elevated favorites with good old-fashioned comfort food." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A tiered, 24-story hotel modeled after an art-deco ocean liner that leans into the city's yachting identity with a dedicated "Nautical Concierge" to connect guests to local boating life; dining emphasizes local seafood and produce at a flagship restaurant rooted in Prohibition-era rum-running lore, with menus overseen by executive chef Paula DaSilva who prioritizes sustainability and regional partnerships and offers cocktails featuring hard-to-find Florida rums alongside the day's Atlantic catch such as red snapper and mackerel." - Paul Rubio
"Hello, views! While your first inclination when checking into a hotel is usually to go right to your room and make sure it passes muster, walking straight toward the pool area, which overlooks (and overhangs) the ocean, is the first thing you'll want to do here. While most of the hotel’s nearly 200 rooms and suites have some sort of view, it might be just a partial one or a glimpse of the Intracoastal Waterway. That's fine… but you deserve better. Splurge on an oceanfront suite, it's well worth the cost." - Jennifer M. Wood
