The room looked nothing like the photos advertised. While it was technically clean (floors, bathroom, and sheets), the overall condition was poor and clearly overdue for an update. Walls were stained with peeling paint, there was visible rust, and the wall décor looked cheap and poorly maintained. The room also had a lingering unpleasant smell that felt musty or “old,” not just from cleaning products. The bathroom sink had no drain protection, making it easy for small items to fall in. For the cost, this was not acceptable. Advertising “updated rooms” and then providing accommodations that feel below motel quality is misleading.

It was ok. Our original flight was cancelled so we arrived a day late. Apparently we checked in the night before? so we didnt have a room ready when we arrived at midnight and had to wait. Once in room, it was spacious but lacking a few things. For example no couch, table or even chairs to sit at. There was a small desk with a rikety office chair that had a screw petruding the seat. Even our deck had chairs but no side table, had to put everything on ground or sit on our bed. Next night tried using the hottub but was told it was out of order which was not true. Certain staff just weren't shown where the timer was to turn it on. Other facilities like the pool and garden patio were great but their pictures are deceiving because no where is there beach access like they show. You have to physically cross a main road to get to the beach and there are no chairs or tables to sit at. I will say the staff were fantastic and the location was great! Just a couple things that would have made it better!

We booked a suite expecting to have a kitchen. There was a microwave & mini fridge that comes in most hotel rooms. There was a kitchen sink but no dishes, utensils, napkins, dish soap, etc. There was a cutting board but no knife! The gutters outside had not been cleaned in a long time so with every gust of wind, debris rained down on the balcony. We requested a broom and swept the balcony twice a day. We also swept the floors in our suite as they were dirty. Housekeeping was supposed to be done every 3rd day. We had text messages on each of the service days that they did not have enough staff to service our room. I said our trash was overflowing, and was told I could put it in the dumpster! When I complained that I was paying over $400 per night for 6 nights and should not have to do self service, they found a housekeeper to “clean” the room. For being a resort with resort fees, I would expect more. There are no drawers in the entire suite for our clothes. There are no hooks or towel bars. There are only 5 hangers. “Amenities” are available for rent (beach towels, etc). Coffee & tea are only available until 7:00pm which we were informed at check in; it does not say limited time on the website. The website does not tell us that there are no elevators and that we would need to able to climb steps. Upon checkout, we discovered separate charges for “hotel” as well as tax on that charge. What is the hotel charge? We already paid over $400 per night for the room.

My son and I were turned away to the streets because the card I booked with has a venmo logo on my Mastercard. The girl at the desk refused to even have a conversation about it saying it was a pre paid card. It is not. It was a legit mastercard linked to my bank. She left the room and left us stranded. Then hotels.com made me just through hoops to get a refund after denying my claim. It ruined the last day of our location. They would not let me call a family member to use their card or even have a conversation with me about it. While in there another guest was upset that the room they paid for did not have the features it was supposed to, such as a working fridge. The rooms are also not beach front and the images online do not match the vibe.
