The Yankee clipper has a great view of the beach, and a very nice pool, there is a bridge from the hotel to the beach so you never have to cross the street. There are some very nice restaurants within waking distance and if you like the night life or just some music with your meal you will find them near the hotel as well. Enjoy

We stayed at the Yankee Clipper for 2 nights post-cruise. Experience has taught us that anytime you are staying on the beach, you will overpay to some extent for the quality of the room but we really wanted the proximity to the ocean. We had requested a non-smoking ocean-view room on a higher floor in the main building (beach side but not the building closest to the water). When we arrived at the hotel, we found ourselves booked in a smoking room on the 2nd floor with a view of trees (the ocean was somewhere behind the leaves). I wasn't too happy. We went back to the front desk to complain. The girl behind the desk was extremely polite but informed us that there was nothing she could do as this was the very last room available. She agreed to move us to a higher floor the next day. I was satisfied with this mostly because she was so polite and respectful. Makes such a difference.

The hotel is a busy one but there wasn't much of a wait at the front desk. The room itself was a nice size,clean, with comfortable beds, but the bathrooms in both rooms had a small amount of hair on the floor (I'm picky about this). The parking was reasonable at $12.00 a night for self-parking. The location is very good - within walking distance to shops, restaurants. It was unfortunate that the weather was chilly at this time because we couldn't take advantage of the beach loungers. We also didn't hang around the bar off the beach but it had a good atmosphere. The pool area was great because it was protected from the wind and we were able to get a few rays out there. Overall, a good place for a few nights. I would not want to pay more than the 235.00 USD we paid (with an airline discount) but I would actually stay there again.

We stayed for 7 days and for the most part really enjoyed the stay. We were dissappointed in the room as it was an average room not what we expected for the money we paid and not what was expected for a Sheraton. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was very good. Everything in the hotel is pretty pricey. We went for breakfast at the Bahai Cabana which is across the street and down 1/2 block 5$ for bacon and eggs and if you can get a table you are right on the marina. Breakfast in the Sheraton was $14 and pretty good but! If you want something that the front desk says they don't have ask the concierge as they probably do. The beach was great, nice & clean. One complaint is they take the beach chairs away at 5o'clock and the sun doesn't set till 6:30 or so would have liked a chair to sit on beach later. Nice heated pool down by the beach. During the week was really nice and quiet but the weekend was really busy. I would not go back to this hotel as I thought it was too much money for what you got. $300 a night I thought you should at least get a fridge.

We were concerned about being allocated this hotel by our cruise agent for a 1 night stay prior to our Celebrity cruise having read the reviews on trip advisor. In the event we arrived early evening in the dark to be allocated a large room in the building 1 back from the beach. The room was clean and very large even by american standards. We eat in the bar and had very fast and friendly service. Had a good nights sleep so no problem there.
Awoke in the morning and was surprised on drawing back the curtains to see that whilst we had a nice sea view we also had significant building works on 2 sides of us and they started working just before 7.30am. We were checking out of the hotel by midday so we had a pleasant few hours on the beach relaxing and whilst the beach chairs are free for hotel guests they do charge $10 for the beach umbrella.

Hotel fine for a 1 night stay prior to cruise but I would not stay there at the moment for longer than that as the building noise is intrusive and will be going on for a few months yet
