The hotel is dated. Needs a renovation. However we only stayed for 1 night. Sleep was good However the AC was way too cold so up it to 70 but then it went down lower. So sadly my partner did not have a good sleep. The beach area was superb.

The gated community and staff were very nice. However the first day we stayed the toilet overflowed which they were able to move us to a different room. The property could definitely use some renovations and it seems they are slowly working on them. There are leaks in the hallway but the room itself was decent. The first room we had you could tell the cleaning staff knew we were coming, the second room wasn’t as deeply cleaned. Coffee stains still on the counters and sand still in the bathroom. The pools were nice but could use a deep clean( to be expected from the sun growing algae). All in all, it worked for us. If you’re planning on spending your whole vacation at the hotel, you may want to find somewhere with a bit more amenities, closer to shops and food, and a bit more upscale. But if you’re like us and only need a place to rest your head as you explore the rest of the island, this place was perfect.

Everything is old. Nothing is up to date very dingy look. We had trouble with the shower at first but they came to fix the issue; bed was clean but carpet and the whole ambiance I did not like; also the door to the room was stuck and hard to open and close.
