Overpriced and extremely poor condition

What a woefully kept hotel. There was heavy rain which poured through the covered walkways like a raging river. No amenities in these overpriced rooms (water, shower cap etc). Basically it’s an overpriced motel with a fancy lobby. Save your money and go elsewhere

When we got to the resort, we didn’t get the room we booked for. So they told us they were upgrading us to a room that was on the floor Level, which we specifically chose not to get with the last room, due to security issues. The electricity in the room along the wall behind the bed didn’t work so no lamps for the beside table., the toilet had a constant running noise and we couldn’t turn the water off to stop it, so we heard it all through the night. And it had an old smell to it. Like the room hadn’t been used in a while or it had been shut up for a long time and had an old person smell to it.
