Everything was excellent, the only downside is that the kitchen had nothing—no dishes or anything related to cooking. Other than that, everything was very good and close to the beach.

Lousy overall room maintenance and staffing issues

The TV would work and maintenance was gone for the day, and desk personnel were no able to help. We changed rooms with a working TV. Room was not serviced the next day, and desk staff said we had not requested that it. Confused we did get a complement of fresh towels. Definite plug problems in both rooms. Rooms are poorly maintained. We will not stay there again.

Needs renovation and deep clean

I was old and musty. The room smelled stale and almost like maybe mold? The beds weren’t amazing and the pillows were so small they were a square.
Sarah, 2-night trip

It clean and comfortable enough. The pool & jacuzzi in great condition. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast needed some improvements. There was a yogurt machine that wasn’t working & the orange juice wasn’t working.
