The only thing good about this hotel is the pool. Rooms were completely run down. I would think Good spring break place for college students but otherwise pretty bad. Staff was nice enough but place was really bad. On the water but the beach is not groomed and dirty. So much potential.

Overall the resort is nice and kid-friendly. However, there were a few hiccups as the staff wasn’t properly informed. When I asked about late checkout I was informed that it was $15 an hour. On the day of check-out, I called to double-check that they were aware that I stopped Wanted the late check-out option I was then informed that it was 38.50 per hour. I had to request extra towels, and the sink leaked so I had to place the garbage can under it to collect the water and as well upon arrival, I had to wait almost two hours for someone to arrive at the front desk.

As others have noted, the suites and rooms could really use some updates. Although we had no issues with the cleanliness of our suite (it was nicely and clean) the overall condition of the rooms could certainly benefit from some renovations. However, the rest of the property was very nice, with the common areas and facilities being well-maintained and in good condition. If you're seeking a high-end 5-star experience, this might not be the right choice for you. But if you're looking for a more reasonably priced, comfortable, and modest stay, it provides a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.

Great experience overall but wasn’t very clean and are sofa was stained and curtains were nasty. Hot water wasn’t great and was provided no blankets. Other than that it was a very beautiful vacation. I’d go back but I’d thoroughly clean the suite myself. Washer/dryer and hot tub plus full kitchen and dishwasher was nice. Beds were hard not comfortable at all
