Room wasn’t clean! our white socks turned browned in just a couple steps. We stayed 5 days and not once was it vacuumed or cleaned.. the only room service was just bed making and swapped towels a couple of times (maybe 3 times). Spa wasn’t working! Indoor pool was ice cold. The location was nice and beach was amazing though.

Room was great and staff was friendly. Was hard to eat a quick breakfast as the hotel filled up due to guests allowed to "preorder/pickup" food ahead of guests waiting to be seated. Find it ridiculous that you have to pay for "self serve" parking as a guest of the hotel.
