A few issues, We'll still be back

They have updated the rooms since we had been 2 years ago. Elevators are still very slow. Pool and hot tub were dirty (clumps of hair in pool , large chunks of white slime in hot tub) Showers draining really slow.

Great resort location w/ friendly housekeeping!

Second time staying at this resort for a week vacation. The rooms have been nicely updated since 2023. we had a great beachfront room & the beach view was exceptional. House keeping did great the 1 time we asked for a cleaning, at check in the agent didn’t give any explanation of property amenities, resort layout or hours of pool. I didn’t know free coffee was available until the day before we left, Major negative was the awful internet connection. it was unsecured connection & dropped connection every 20-30 minutes. Luckily I didn’t have much work & wanted to disconnect anyway. Parking was good - I was alway able to find a spot close to our building entrance. The resort itself was a 10/10 & great location & friendly housekeeping.

Only good thing is the beach access.

Check in was quick. The room was a bit dirty and outdated. Our bathroom door wasnt able to open all the way because it was sticking to the floor. Then our hair dryer wasnt working and half of the lights in the room were not working and yes they were plugged in. They dont offer breakfast but they do have a breakfast place to buy from. The hotel has access to the beach and they have showers to rinse off right on the bridge they also have some bar stools on the bridge to sit. The room was a bit smaller than other hotels we have been to. The bathroom itself was tiny.

No privacy

Stay was horrible. Suite didn’t have any blackout curtains or sheers. When talking to front desk, I was informed that was the new policy, which is crazy. They even had the two rails up at the window where the blackout curtains and sheers were suppose to hang from. If that was the policy then why have the rails up, makes no sense at all. Never stayed at an hotel that didn’t have any type of window privacy especially being at the lower floor. We stayed on the 3rd floor and at night time you could see directly into our room from the beach. It was like our floor was ground level to the beach, not high up like the 6th or 7th floor. It took no effort to look in our room and see EVERYTHING. I took pictures and showed it to the manager. The other rooms that were not suites had blackout curtains. Some of the other suites had blackout curtains or sheers. The day shift manager (Morgan) said that she would send housekeeping to room to put up sheers and they never showed up during our stay. I was so exhausted from arguing back and forth with them that I checked out early. You could literally see what we were watching on tv and see directly through the entire room. Mind you the bathroom wasn’t connected to the bedroom so after a shower you have to be presentable at night because people could see you go in and out the bathroom. I also had a child with me. This was a horrible experience. Staff were rude and not accommodating at all. I would never stay at this location again.
