Very bad experience. Pay the same and go somewhere else for more. Dont get fooled by the name. The images are deceiving. This property needs urgent renovation. The see-through floor squeaks when you step on it. The service was terrible. Water was dripping into the bedroom. I asked the front desk 4 times to fix the water leaqu nonone showed up. When you call the front desk, no one never picks up. I spent 20 minutes daily drying puddles in the bedroom. The all-inclusive is only worth for the comfort and time efficiency. But the food meets minimum aceptable standards. We found a hair ingraved on piece of bread. As far as the drinks go, the bartender does not even know what kind of beer they offer. It did not taste like I wanted another one. I'd rather pay for something with a lable. The hard liquor was whiskey in a slushy. When i asked about the type of whiskey, she didn't have an answer. If you dont stack up with water during the day, be prepared to pay at night. Let's just not talk about the guym. If for any reason you still decide to stay here, make sure you call and ask about additional charges. We were charged additional "tax" on top of expedia tax. Basically, we got taxed twice, and or you can say trump tarrifs are expanding

The hotel is in a great location close to everything. The room we stayed had a great ocean view. But we had bo hot water, the a/c only worked partially, the electric and USB outlets didn't work, we couldn't call to report these problems became our phone didn't work either. We reported all of these at tbe front desk but nothing was done about it in tbe 2 days we stayed.

I asked Expedia to help me recover my money the second day I was at this place. I don’t think it should be included in any of your listings as a place to go. It’s very expensive, and it needs to be closed down. It’s very, very gross
