Dining experience could be better. The restaurants had food that was under par. We tried different restaurants and the verdict was same, poor quality that missed the mark of the restaurant's theme.

This property is not equipped to handle the amount of people staying here. Peope are running to the pool and beach at 7 a.m. to get lounge chairs bc there are not enough on the property. The dining facilities are not large enough. My party was turned away a few times bc the various reataurants were full or at capacity (only one restaurant takes a reservation which is a scramble to get at 8 a.m. each morning).The room was outdated and needs renovating and new decor. It was hard to get anyone to help with anything. Once, I did connect with someone he/she was nice, polite, and helpful. The hotel is understaffed and needs more lounge chairs and umbrellas.

I have stayed at this property 4 times. I am surprised of the many new rules since I understand new management has taken over, yet rooms ,including the Casitas are not as up to date as they used to be. They've taken away a lot of what was fun, close things down earlier, and make you have a reservation at every restaurant for dinner. The food really hasn't changed, and the room service menu has become lackluster, as has the regular food. I miss the craft beer options since the last time I was there. The follow up and follow through on customer service's end was not stellar this time around. I was considering becoming a member, but after even inquiring 3 times, nobody wanted to follow up to talk with me about it. Sadly, this may be my last time at such an amazing place I used to love and enjoy.
