Stayed one night at Lambert in 2007. I think they were in transition, ownership-wise, at the time.

Anyway, I had paid for a gardenview room, but without asking, was upgraded to a beach front...must've been my charming face...actually I was one of only two customers that night! The room was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The landscaping was gorgeous, and I did a little walk and sniff tour of the garden at sunrise.

This past January we stayed at Tamarind to enjoy the full moon party at Trellis before heading home. We had 2 meals and a continental breakfast, all delicious and enjoyable in the covered living space next to the bar and pool.

Our room was clean, but needed maintenance on the doors and lacked enough electric outlets to have room lights and recharge our electronics. At checkout, they volunteered that a mistake had been made with our reservation and charged us a low season rate, which cheered us up considerably.
