This 11-story beachfront hotel is smaller and more conservative than the Marriott, and it seems less busy and crowded. All rooms are spacious and have private balconies with full or partial gulf views, a sitting area, a dry bar, bathrobes, and a mini-fridge. A new spa opened late 2008 with 10 treatment rooms and a full range of pampering services. Pros: gorgeous wide beach; complete business services; exclusive feel. Cons: a little stuffy;charge for Wi-Fi; business focus.
