Staff were excellent. The name of resort needs to be changed to motel ans that’s what it is and price needs to be reduce to about $100 per night compared to other beautiful places I have stayed at for the same price. An old bandaid was left in the shower which makes you think how clean the rest of the room was eg sheets etc. Again could not fault the staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is far from a resort. With the amount they charge per night, far from worth it and I can’t believe they charge so much for an awful old place. The room smelled really bad. The bed spreads and blankets were not clean. There was hair on the blankets likely from the previous people. The bathroom was old and smelled and not clean in the shower. I didn’t step foot in there. And it just felt overall awful and made my skin itch. Furthermore the tv was super old, so don’t expect to watch Netflix or try to stream from your device. Don’t waist your money, it’s not worth it.
