What an amazing getaway not far from home! My wife and I decided to spend our mini moon here during Veterans Day weekend in November 2024. We are huge fans of the St. Regis, since we experienced two hotels on our engagement-moon in Italy, Venice and Florence. This property is new and it had everything we were looking for and more. They have a grand entrance with welcoming staff. Michael, the head bellman, gave us a warm welcome and informed us of the sea turtle fountain covered in Swarovski crystals centerpiece out front. We later met Jack and Rose, the tortoises on property. Jason checked us in. He was extremely kind and patient. He took the time to answer our questions. And as foodies, we truly appreciated his recommendation of the Chicken Milanese at Riva. It was one of our favorite dishes on property. He was also kind enough to put us in one of their best rooms included in the complimentary upgrades for Platinum Elite Marriott members. Our room was located on their top floor at the end of the hall, with a stunning view of their pools, lagoon and private beach. It was perfect for us. The bathroom was covered in marble and it had double sinks! It was a sizable space with a large rainfall shower and a bathtub. The bed faced the balcony glass sliding doors so we could wake up every morning to the sunrise and picturesque views. The walk-in closet was also very nice with a full length large mirror. Breakfast was what we looked forward to most during our stay. The food and drinks were excellent. Also, the lagoon experience on property sets this place apart from other resorts. It was a very unique experience and the staff were super friendly. The Asian girl was super kind, friendly, patient, welcoming and had great energy. (Sorry it’s bothering me that I cannot remember her name!) We thoroughly enjoyed feeding the jellyfish and interacting with all the fish. Alvin really liked me, as he kept coming up to me throughout my time in the lagoon. Another highlight of our trip was during dinner on the beach our first night, we saw dolphins in the sunset. We’ve been to Florida so many times, but have never seen wild dolphins. It was super cool! Darren took great care of us by the pool and beach with food and drink orders. Great guy and it was a pleasure getting to know him. Shoutouts to Elson, Faith, Michaels, Joe, Darren, Rajan, and Timothy. They all made our stay on property an amazing experience. We can’t wait to come back!
