Very impressed with this property. We had a beachfront view which was stunning. The breakfast buffet was good, wish the food could have been warmer. Pools were nice, liked that they continually played music. The only complaint I have are the towels. Especially the beach towels, thin and small.

Our door to hallway had such a gap in it that you could see outside and hear everything, had to call security because our neighbor was blasting music, it was a college sorority week, and security guy said “ it’s the weekend and there is a wedding downstairs, I told security to come to my room and listen, it was definitely our next door neighbor, he told them to quiet down but that didn’t last for long. The shower had moldy caulking that needed fixing and pictures online bathroom looked nothing like the bathroom we ended up with. Will not be staying there anymore:(
