The staff were fantastic, but the noise level was too much. Forget about sleeping in, loud talking everywhere starts at 6 AM. one night I had to call the front desk to complain about loud talking and laughing at 11 PM just outside my bedroom window. I was also charged when I requested an extra sheet, because the comforter was too hot. I've never been charged at other hotels for extra pillows, blankets, sheets, etc.

This place is okay. A bit noisy since our room was around the swimming pool. It needs more boarding the night we were there had a party and they were noisy until I fell asleep. I also requested an additional sheet to use as blankets. But they said it’s an additional charge. We booked 2 rooms. One with 2 twins and the other with Queen bed they called matrimonial. The bed were set with fitted sheet, 2 pillows and a comforter. I ask for a flat sheet since even with AC the temperature inside the room is a humid and a bit warm. Comfort is the main reason I rated this 3 stars.
