Pros: the beach is incredible. The resort is right on the beach. The staff is very kind and accommodating Cons: practically everything is an extra charge. We were a party of 3 in one hotel room. They supplied enough for 2 people. For example, we had to pay extra for a beach chair daily. We had to wait in line for a spot on the beach. At times there weren’t enough beach towels. It was busy season so we were confused as to why they didn’t plan for the extra people at the hotel. Bongos is good for lunch but again we had to wait in line for a table. The servers were running their butts off but still there were guests waiting. The room itself is very awkward. Outlets and light switches are in very weird places and there isn’t any counter space in the restroom. It seems that not a lot of thought went into the planning of the room. The room was relatively update in its decor however the hotel itself is in need of a major renovation! They had cardboard covering one of the windows by the pool and the ladder to get into the pool had caution tape around it. Very tacky.

The property itself is a little dated, but find. The staff made several negative comments about the management that felt inappropriate to share with a guest and made me uncomfortable. The WiFi does not work. I was placed in a different room type than I booked, but they refused to refund the difference.
