The property and beach were great. The issues happend when it got later. The bar was supposed to close at 10 and was still loud and playing music at 12. The people above us were really loud and sounds of dragging furniture. I had to call the frint desk twice and go sown to the front desk once about this.

Loved where out room was. It was on first floor. You walk out sliding glass doors down a few steps and u step in sand. Room was clean. Beds i thought were comfy. Pool was nice n warm. Now for the negatives. This was classified as a resort. U had to pay $45 extra per night for amenities. You also had to pay $16 parking per night! Say what!? Never have i paid for parking! The poolside bar closed way too early each night. And we ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant, the staff was very slow, we waited 15 mins before we were even greeted. There were only 3 other tables filled and we waited probably 45 mins to get our food. Plan on going back to the area next year n wont be staying there again.
