"The room was hot! There private beach wasn't private. People would sit in front of you and block the view. The chair rental was ridiculous, should be included for the "private beach". No breakfast, no place to get a drink on site. The big pool was beautiful."

"We stayed for one night and we were impressed. The lobby was so clean and wide and nicely laid out . The staff were friendly and helpful. Our suite had a king bed was so spacious and had a kitchenette and even washer and dryer. It felt more like a condo than hotel room. It was very clean and cozy. ..."
