What an awesome week at Cape Rey! I reserved the room through Expedia, and didn’t know where my room would be. I was offered a reasonable upgrade to an ocean view balcony room, which my family absolutely loved. The grounds are beautiful, area seemed very safe. Hotel was clean and everyone was very friendly, Great experience!

Disliked: Amenities
It's a charming property that could use a refresh in a few areas, notably some of the infrastructure--screens, vanity, electrical outlets--and less nickel and diming b.c $40/day to valet a car plus $35/day resort fee is ridiculous even if one had the means to pay, but particularly egregious when the pool is closed for maintenance. Five stars to the spa staff who are excellent. Treatments are thoughtful and therapists are top tier. The spa is definitely something to enjoy. Onsite restaurant is solid and the staff are well trained and attentive.

Location is great if you are visiting Legoland. Also staff at reception, Jeanine, was awesome! Restaurant food is pretty good although menu is quite limited especially if you staying for more than few days. Only thing I would have liked not being charged for parking considering location of the hotel not in a busy area.
