Great place! Just had some issues with the cleanliness of our room! Sheets seemed re used without being washed, bathroom floor was dirty. The last tenants left some items behind that was just left by room service for us to find, but honestly not the worst place to stay! The environment was amazing! No bed bugs! Vibe was great and staff was amazing!

Staying here over 20 years. This experience the worst. Popcorn ceilings falling into food and furniture - told staff - response: they need to put some money into fixing it up. Front desk: they wanted to know if they could come up and fix it. This was not an easy fix and would have displaced us. Not again!

I dont think our room had been used or cleaned for a while when we got there. That said, the room was just okay. The property is older but very large. It is right on the beach. You will need your own chair for the beach. The pool is not heated. There are plenty of lounge chairs on the pool deck and by the lazy river. Live music every night.
