Check in staff were pleasant, going up the rooms though was so unkept with water running down the halls from every A/C they have for the rooms and halls need some thorough cleaning. Room service do a great job, came in everyday which is rare these days. The bummer though, we found a cockroach sitting in the tab and my husband managed to contain it and flashed down the drain. Breakfast was wonderful with plenty of options.

The bathroom was tiny but this made for a roomier sitting area. The "balcony" opened right on to the dunes. The jets in the hot tub we broken so were more like vigorous bublers. Over all beautiful stay.
