Good hotel- rooms are on the older side. The spa isn’t coed, no sauna, room refreshments are extra. Drinks and food is expensive. Coming from a different luxury hotel where all of this was included I realize I’d rather pay a little more for the room and not have to wonder if I’m going to be charged for every Diet Coke at the pool at $5 a pop.

Overall this is a 4 star property, they were very accommodating and had great service. The food was delicious and I had the Watsu massage that was the best massage I’ve ever had in my life. The facilities however need some love. Our room had a very strong door that no one could identify. The pool had dirty towels and the tile seemed to be crumbling and moldy. Housekeeping threw away my travel sized hair oil and sunblock. I really wanted to give them a 5 star review but they fell short.
