This property is very outdated. The wait time at the restaurant is long. My room was uncomfortable — the fridge had multiple dents, the couch was creaky and stiff, the door had a broken lock, and it looked very old. It felt like I was in an old movie. The market had very limited choices and was ridiculously overpriced. No ice was available anywhere. It was terrible. I felt like I was staying in an old apartment complex.

We, unfortunately, had a situation where my wife and I were away for most of the afternoon and evening, and my 3 children (14, 11, 11) were by themselves. Apparently, on Sunday afternoon, new keys to our room were given to another group of people, and that group entered our residence, finding it occupied. This scared our kids pretty bad. The group apologized and left, but they were still pretty shaken (a lesson to use the door latch). That also made our keys to no longer work (our kids let us in when we returned). We didn't make a big deal out of it as we were leaving early the next morning for our flight home. I'm sure it was an honest mistake, just a very unfortunate situation.
