Outside area was nice. Bathroom at pool area had a horrible smell. More than likely caused from the flooring used that just absorbs the urine. Beds were not very sturdy ….. my biggest issue was the miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel . The pricing was all different and the hotel actually charges two days prior to stay instead of the pay at checkin as stated . Also deposits and other fees were not correct based off hotel and Expedia . Very deceiving. Also parking was horrible .

Not one or two but 3 roaches found at arrival. There was also a roach in the lighting fixture. There were cob webs, stuff on the walls that should and need to be cleaned. The tub was moldy and gross. They used masking tape to “fix” plumbing. Awful stay. Best part about it was just walking on the beach. Go elsewhere. Don’t stay here.

The hotel stated it had been renovated and updated. It looked like they applied a coat of white paint to everything and that was it. The toilet seat was old and worn. There was black mildew on the bathroom floors, and there were bugs everywhere. It looked like a room from the late 80s that someone applied a white coat of paint too. It was very disappointing.

I have stayed here a few times but this time was horrible 10/25 the room we reserved had water all over the floor so we were moved to a room with no balcony which we paid for , to a lower room by the pool which smelled horrible but no other vacancy so we had to buy air fresheners to fill the room for our stay , then we were charged a different resort fee than initially told and I have a receipt to prove but they will not return funds … do not stay here !!!

Our room was dirty, and when we complained, they never did come to clean up. I approached one of the workers outside and requested that they change at least the bottom part of the bed which was covered that had brown stuff that looked like poop on it. he tossed me the cover and told me to change it when we asked for towel towels. It took two days to get them. The bedsheets never got changed the room never got cleaned. I do have pictures.

Our room was rather old though I didn't expect first class for the price. The bathroom was definitely not great. I felt the fact that no smoking is allowed anywhere on the grounds should be specified upfront before booking. And the tiki bar at the pool wasn't open once despite the sign down at the beach advertising it was.
