Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The experience was terrible. We had to change to 4 rooms to finally be in a room that was satisfactory. The 1st room the door will not open, after 1 hour of waiting, that when they decide to get us another room. The 2nd room was flooded with water from the bathroom. One of my bags and clothes were ruined. The 3rd room, the AC didn’t work properly, we slept very uncomfortable. All these in less then 24 hours. The staff showed no empathy and never showed urgency. The worst experience I ever had in a resort.

Even though the walk to the beach was not too far, they should advertise that their property is not right on the beach side. Other than that, beautiful beach, but should be cleaned more properly as there was so much algae. If you walk further down the beach that’s owned by other resorts, they do a much better job keeping their side of the beach cleaner and there’s not as much algae. I understand that algae is natural but some resorts do a much better job keeping their water and sand cleaner. As for the resort itself, it was nice but would appreciate if there was more things to do and more entertainment for the guests during the day rather than just at night.

We were so bummed to learn that they had sold the ocean front building, so our plans to pay extra for them were not an option as in past stays. The staff members were great, the food options sufficient and that beach front is fabulous. One in our group got sick, but since only one, she thinks she may have accidentally swiped her toothbrush under the faucet. Dang!! For a low budget, last minute beach hang, the rest of us enjoyed it. HUGE bonus is the ability to move the beach loungers to where you want!! Game changer! Though many are broken, when we could score enough decent chairs, we loved that.

The property was small-limited areas. The worst thing was that there was mold in the pool which was disgusting, the ocean was dirty, the washroom was extremely tiny with an ancient toilet and sink (dirty), there was a sewage smell in various areas of the property. The housekeeping is not regular, we had to request fresh towels, bottles of water and toilet paper. The only reason I have given a 3-star is because the staff was courteous and the front desk changed our room upon request.
