Scenery and views are to die for. Definitely take a seaplane from Kenmore Air if you can work it out. The flight was flawless and 110% recommended!
Spend the extra money to stay in the ""Residences""!!!! Can't stress that enough! They are tastefully appointed, and very comfortable. INCREDIBLE beds, killer views from every room that counts. (The bathrooms don't have views, but I can live with that because they are spacious and again nicely appointed. Anyone who would stay here most likely has their own hair care & soap but there is a supply just in case.
Would like to see hand soap in something other than 'grocery store packaging'....if the same soap were in a nice dispenser it would be a better fit - not a big deal, but I'm picky about silly things like that.
The kitchen set up is awesome. The coffee maker is nice but coffee itself isn't so hot :( We bought our own and new filters to get a decent good cup of java during the day.
LOVE the gas fireplace, romantic lighting, and extra 'designer' feel and touches. Beds are incredible, the linens are sumptuous, oh the one other thing they NEED is a source for bubble bath especially in the lower Residences which have a soaking tub! We looked all over town for grown up bubble bath and could not find any - Olga's store in Eastsound should have carried it - they have a nice selection of candles which I bought to add to the nice atmosphere here...
The only real down side is that the upstairs guestswere EXTREMELY heavy footed and it sounded like they STOMPED back and forth throughout the time they were in the suite!!! VERY annoying when they were around. It made the lamps in the living room rattle when they walked back and forth - we couldn't figure out why you'd keep walking back and forth for HOURS on end!
Definitely go to the Quilted Pig which is AMAZING and though the service isn't what we're used to, the food was fabulous!! Kudos to the chef!
Check out is at noon and the car rental (which is necessary for the Residences) is early - hopefully they will let us check out late since the plane going home doesn't come until 4:30~
