Unfortunately the partial ocean view we paid for was very partial once on the balcony if I turned my chair to look through the adjoining patio. Which wasn’t a problem but they had a dog and there want a barrier in place to keep the dog on their side. The air conditioning didn’t work. The food/drinks were very overpriced. Also - most importantly- the big surprise was even with the lack of resort amenities they charged an extra $40/per day at the end of the stay. This should have been clearly stated earlier on or been part of the initial cost. We will not be staying there again because of this fraudulent way of doing business.

The hotel was in a stunning and convenient location. The main downside was the noisy air-conditioning that woke us up every night. Overall, I would stay again though.
