This property is listed as a resort and resort fees are charged! There is not even a microwave in the rooms, so how is this a resort? This was initially a Crowne Plaza hotel previously and now it is being marketed as a resort with their fees attached! I will not stay here again! We were without WiFi for 2 days! Finally after going to the front desk on 2 occasions was I able to log onto it and it actually stayed on! This stay was quite a disappointment for us 🙄

Food was great. Pool and beach are nice. Gym is really basic and has a weird smell; not great for a property of this caliber.

Everything associated with the facility, the rooms, the front desk staff, housekeeping, bell staff and pool/recreational rentals was exceptional. We weren't impressed with food service in any aspect but the rest of our stay was perfect. We definitely want to return.
