Overall, my stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. While the location was exceptional, right by the beach with stunning views, and the pool facilities were family-friendly and fun, the dining experience left much to be desired. The service at the beach club was notably understaffed, leading to long waits for food and drinks. I wouldn't say it was worth the luxury price tag based on my experience, but the atmosphere was lovely and the amenities had potential.

Our stay at Watercolor Inn was filled with moments of relaxation and joy, thanks to the fantastic amenities and accommodating staff. The hotel offered great beach access and beautiful views, making it an ideal getaway. However, we faced some challenges with dining service and our room's lighting was quite inadequate. Overall, it's a family-friendly destination with a lot to offer but comes at a premium price.

Overall, the Watercolor Inn provided a truly delightful experience with exceptional staff and thoughtful amenities. The stunning beach views and various pools added to the charm, making it great for families. However, there were a few hiccups with the beach setup and some tech issues that could be improved for the price point.
Rooms

The rooms were beautifully appointed with a cozy, casual decor that made me feel right at home. I loved slipping into the robe and slippers and enjoyed the spectacular views from our balcony. The setup was well-designed, but I did notice that rooms with ocean views might require you to be on the upper floors.
