Property was great.it was everything that it said it would be. Was told by Expedia that I had a perk and to ask when I arrived at check in. When I arrived to the resort they said I was not given anything and that is was usually would pop up during check in. I showed them a screenshot of said perk but was not given anything.

Last minute getaway

Staff were very friendly and helpful. On site tiki bar was a lot of fun. This is an old hotel so if you're looking for the Ritz this isn't your place, but for an inexpensive place with a fun bar this is a good overnight. If you order the Mai Tai at the bar, trust me you only need two! Would definitely stay again.

The hotel was overall excellent with friendly staff and great amenities, but cleanliness needs improvement. The bathroom wasn’t very clean, towels were limited, and the pool had mold with messy surroundings. With better upkeep, this could be a five-star stay.
