Chaminade Resort & Spa

Very peaceful experience !

I never knew a resort like this was so close to the beach. My go to vacation spot now.

My stay was just what I needed, a quiet little get away. The staff was all friendly, with an extra shoutout to Andy from the restaurant, who really made my experience feel welcomed and comfortable.

I was genuinely excited to visit based on the advertisement, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t match what was promoted. I felt misled—the amenities and overall environment were not as advertised. It felt like I was sold something completely different from what was delivered. I expected better transparency and consistency between the marketing and the actual experience.

Had a horrible experience here. We had a very bad spa experience, they charged us way more than promised at time of booking. The customer service at the spa is also very rude and unhelpful. Also, the rooms are slightly old and smell.

We had an issue with our first room the first night. The lock to the door did not work, and then we noticed that the additional door lock latch was completely broken. It was too late to move our entire family so we just put our luggage and a chair up against the front door. The recessed lights in the ceiling were also separated from the ceiling and dangling 2-3 inches. Went to the front desk the next morning and they immediately moved us rooms and comped us for the first night. Everything else about the property was really nice! We did not eat on property but the restaurant sounded busy. 10 minute drive to just about everything you would need.

Although the area was nice the room was so loud like the fridge was so loud we had to unplug it to be able to sleep. During the time at the pool they were children splashing around the hot tub and with giant round floatties inside the hot tub which made our relaxing time a bit frustrating so we end up leaving. Other pool is out of order and that was not mentioned during our booking process. We booked this place for the amenities it showed and it was not the best. The food in the restaurant was delicious but the service was not attentive we had to walk out of how long it was taking our server check to charge our room. We are very patient people and don’t like giving out bad reviews but for the amount of money we spend this was not the best place.

loved it

I was charged $120 for a resort fee after checking out of the hotel that was not communicated to me at the time of check in.

The Handlery is a great option in Union Square for a quick weekend getaway. While it does not have the amenities of a five star, if you have kids, the heated outdoor pool is a huge plus. The place is definitely dated and can use some upgrades/renovations.
