At the pool, you have a notice up that says no cussing or bad language, but your pool music provided by the hotel consistently played music with every cuss or bad word there is. Pool service was also very SLOW.

We stayed here from January 18-22, 2025, and it was a beautiful resort! Our room, #902 on the 9th floor, had a spectacular ocean view with a balcony. The room was spacious, clean, and our king-size bed was incredibly comfortable. The resort offers several restaurants, though not all were open during our stay. We ordered food from Starfish and was quite good. The pool area was beautifully designed, with multiple pools to choose from, making for a relaxing experience. The only downside was the cleanliness of the hallways—they were in serious need of vacuuming and mopping. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay!

Overall the property is nice and the food was excellent. It is a bit outdated but still nice. Our main issues were with the customer service from the moment we arrived the bartenders or waiters by the pool area were not friendly nor were they looking to go above and beyond like you except at resorts for the amount you are paying and being on vacation and a relaxing trip. There was lack of customer service and that ownership feel from certain employees.p There were a hand full of other employees in the restaurant dept that were just not there to work you could see it their face and the way they did things. Very off putting. The individuals at the tour desk were all super great! They were over the top with details and customer service. The beach is very dark sand and most days were cloudy for us there.
