We liked everything very much and wanted to enjoy our vacation, but Hurricane Helena ruined everything. We stayed at the hotel for three nights and were evacuated, unfortunately. 😞 I'm waiting for the refund of the reservation.

We are return customers. This time we stayed in a suite- it was so hot even after telling front desk. We couldn’t even stay in the front of the suite, we had to hang out in the bedroom. Not sure I would stay again- super noisy and overall not impressed this time.
