We just came back last week and had a great time. That being said I would not classify it as upscale. The rooms are nice but very dated. The ocean view makes up for the age of the rooms and the staff is very good! They are starting renovations soon as the resort needs it. Some would say not to the extent that is planned.

Sunset At The Palms is more intimate and the food is very good if you are looking for another option for a special stay. The rooms are cabins on stilts so they are not luxurious but large and comfortable. You do have to cross the road to get to the beach but it is not far.
