Super great place to stay. Only down fall is no elevator. Property was clean and the room was very comfortable. Kids loved the pool and outside areas. So close to the beach made staying the day at the beach so easy and convenient.

Was easy to access and communication was awsome. Kids loved pool and splash area and mini golf area. Only thing we found we didnt like was mosquitoes but thats not the resort issue. Pack bug spray and all will be great and a wonderful stay

Dirty and run down. I can see why it is the cheapest on the island. If all you need is 4 walls and a roof this is your place

10/10

The only recommendation we have is that a soap dispenser or bottle of soap with paper towels be available so you can wash your hands after using the restroom and before you eat. The beds were comfortable and we really did not spend much time in the room but overall it was a great place on the beach with easy access!!

I can't imagine why you would send this email since you canceled our reservation with only one day's notice. We booked months ago and you waited until one day before our stay. We are severely disappointed.

It was very compact our sink was broken remote control battery back was missing including batteries. It was dirty when arrived and a hell of roaches left in right so don’t leave your food out!! Overall all the guests were mindful of everyone being there.

Non WiFi and only stairs at property. Pool and hit tub water did not look clean so we did not use. Also there was not a stove or working microwave/oven to heat food. Overall okay, but could have been cleaner and more accurate pictures of amenities. It was very close to the beach so if that the most important this is a perfect option to with basic amenities.

I was never texted or provided the entry information so I had to make other last-minute plans. Ultimate fail on their part. I shouldn't even be charged for the night.

First off the gentleman I dealt with was rude. The mattress was uncomfortable and lumpy. There was 1 glass and a coffee cup, no toilet paper and a pair of panties stuck in the couch cushions. No instructions for the TV

The pictures depict the rooms larger than they really are. There is no quiet time at night and the grounds were littered with trash, shoes and piles of wet towels. The putt putt course had wrinkles in the course and just overall not well maintained. We stayed one of our three nights. The property manager was told of our early departure and never apologized or tried to make it right. I did have great communication the entire time though. I’m sure this place was pretty when it was first built but the pictures do not represent this place well.

Had to call to get room and access code. Did not send out as stated. Hot tub was GREEN (shame it wasn't in working order). Seems like facility had good ideas in past but nothing has been maintained/repaired. Mattress was just 5 inch foam. We left a day early to sleep in our own bed. Seems more of a hostel feel. Very minimal. Seems owner is trying to squeeze ever penny from it without putting any money into it. We tried something different for us, but I don't think we will be back.
