Front reception/staff was very welcoming. Property looked well-maintained until I got to my room on 2nd floor. 2nd floor in complete darkness due to no security lighting. I had difficulties finding my room & getting into my room quickly because it was too dark to see the room number. When I got in my room had a hard time locating the light switch due to no exterior lighting. Comforter on bed was not clean, stain noticed when turned down, as well as a small hole in it. Ceiling was slightly damaged. Due to the lack of security lighting outside my room etc I went back to front desk to let them know I did not feel comfortable with the room and was cancelling my reservation. I was told that because I booked 3rd party, my room could not be cancelled but that a property manager would called the next morning (1/25) I was in the room for a total of 5 mins or less & did not stay on the property. I am still waiting on a call from the property manager

Loved the value and communication via text ! The front desk was a little slow in terms of attentiveness but there was only one person for multiple customers. Room was very clean and comfortable. Will stay again when I’m visiting my family !

Great stay
I liked the free parking, great wifi and free drinks at the bar. Pool was really warm but weather was too cold to enjoy it. I only stayed one night because the hotel had no vacancy for the following night. Room was spacious enough and I liked the retro style fridge and microwave.
The only small complaint I have is the cleaning lady kept coming to clean my room before I was ready to check out and since she didn’t speak English I couldn’t tell her how much longer before I would be leaving.
Otherwise, a great stay and hopefully I will get back again.

Our stay was ok. Room and its facilities was ok but looked bit tired. We had three pillows for two people and hotel unable to provide any more. Found it incredulous that there was not one spare pillow available. Resort facilities were good, pool area was well presented with plenty of space and sun beds.
