They let us know about the amenities (pools and hot tubs) , their restaurant and bar and other activities for the weekend. We loved that after a day of hiking their golf cart drivers took us down and back to the private beach for sunset. You can rent a bonfire they tend for you with s'mores. We did not buy one but looked nice. We enjoyed breakfast at their restaurant and also one evening had a cocktail at their bar and there was live music which was very nice. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean with a fireplace, a large closet, comfortable bed, with stocked and full kitchen. The negative :( Our bathroom , sadly it was very tiny and the shower head was horrible. The connection between shower and toilet was one door that barely fit in the space. Bathroom needs a remodel! Over all 5 stars would LOVE to stay again!

My husband and I had drinks, enjoyed the appetizers, and spent time on the patio -- we were genuinely having a 5-star experience... until we weren't. We ordered DoorDash to the room. After finishing our drinks outside for about 30-40 minutes, we came back to our room and were met with a full-on ant infestation. They were everywhere -- counters, walls, corners. It was beyond disgusting. There is no sugarcoating this. The room was not habitable. We called the front desk immediately. The response? "We'll write it down." No empathy, no action, no urgency, and no offer to move us to another room. No manager contact. No help. Nothing. I have a phobia of ants, and this experience triggered a physical and psychological reaction. I could not stop feeling like ants were crawling on me. It got so bad that I slept in the car -- not because I wanted to, but because I felt unsafe, unheard, and unsupported. On New Year's Eve, no less. At sunrise, we checked out extremely early and left immediately due to the disgusting nature of what transpired. We still have not received a single follow-up from management. That alone speaks volumes.

We loved him so much, he's literally like family now (on speed dial) and ready to plan our next event in October; our first baby shower! Thank you Oscar for your personable touch and exquisite demeanor.

I probably told him that a million times, "it's either OscarbyOscar or no one". He is that good !!!! All I had to do was give him my theme "Twilight" and not only did he deliver, but everything was impeccable !! The decor was breathtaking, phenomenal, something straight from a movie. Every single detail was perfect, it was timeless. If I can say one thing about him would be OUTSTANDING. He is a delightful person to work with incredible talent. A persons wedding is something that will be treasured and remembered for years to come, and having Oscar and his team create and deliver that for a couple is the ultimate gift. Investing in Oscar is the best thing any couple can do, he seriously outdid my expectations. There are a million and one wedding coordinators/event designers out there, but no one will give you that comfort and ease like OscarbyOscar. Oscar, we love you forever. Our hearts are filled with such amazing memories and we owe all of that to you. Love, Genesis and Adrian Silva

Her consistent…read morepassive-aggressive tone, accompanied by mean comments and a smirking demeanor before launching into criticism, not only left me deeply unsettled but also pushed me into a horrible panic attack. What's even more disheartening is her complete lack of remorse or empathy afterward. Not only did she treat us poorly with consistent passive-aggressive behavior and a lack of curiosity before launching into criticism, but she also took the audacious step of giving a tour of the venue to strangers while we weren't present, despite us having already decorated it with our belongings. I cannot stress enough how strongly I discourage anyone from choosing this venue, given my traumatic experience. I will never do business here again. Additionally, they need to address the maintenance issues in the venue. Considering the amount they charge for rent, they should, at the very least, attend to the problems this place has (pictures included).

John responds in a timely manner and holds efficient planning calls where he asks all the right questions to prepare for your big day. I was delighted to receive a link to his planning site where I could select songs I wanted to hear and upload my timeline and details. John is highly organized, takes the time to get everything right and clarifies with you if he has any concerns. As far as execution on my wedding day: many of my guests told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and this was in large part because of the fantastic DJ'ing and MC'ing. Our dance floor was packed from when it opened til last call. John even did a fantastic job selecting songs with just the vibe I wanted for the dinner portion of the night. Everyone commented on the great music - across all age groups - and had a blast. John even brings fantastic party lights that really get everyone in the mood to dance. On top of that, John is delightful and kind. John also took care of the sound for our ceremony and did a great job making sure our vows were clear on the beach over the sounds of the waves. Hire John for your wedding or big day. You will not regret it.
