The room was mediocre, the shower had no pressure, their definition of room with a view is foliage!!! That’s what the staff told me when I said I reserved a room with a view! I got the parking lot, building next door and common foliage that I have at home. The heated pool was Luke warm and no hot tub!! I would not go back there are plenty other places to stay!!

The room was nice and spacious. When I checked in Edwin wasn’t the most welcoming but the other day with the girl at the front desk was very nice ! The restaurant was really good ! I had the chicken sandwich! One thing is the city water/drinking water is so bad! Heads up ! Loved the short walk to the beach from our room ! The pool was nice ! Only thing wish there was more to do at the resort like a bikes or small arcade.

Loved this place! Beautiful, clean and very nice staff. Only thing is the room I chose says with a view…..and I only seen about 3 rooms that would have a “view” the rest all face the parking lot. So a little misleading for the expense, but overall a nice place.
