Not an actual resort as far as I can tell

Terrible - no hot tub or pool facilities during construction and no notification of this - they blamed Hotels.com for not notifying us - so we probably wont be using Hotels.com anymore either no hot water 2 days running off duty manager was initially condescending when I tried to address the issue they should not call themselves a resort if they dont provide resort ammenities and service

Our stay was wonderful! We had a king-sized bed with a patio. The staff was polite and helpful. The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!

Strict about checking in early even though we were there at 2 to race the next day a half marathon. Got to room and shower wasn’t working. Wanted to rest but fixing shower required man banging and drilling for an hour. Resisted a refund at first but managed 150 off 450 dollar 1 night stay. Should have been higher refund for situation. Won’t stay there again.
