This is one of my favorite hotels that I enjoy visiting. Grounds and facilities are very well kept and clean. There were a few mosquitos in my room upon entry. Also, the pillows are very worn and uncomfortable.

The pool, food, drinks were all great. Pricing for food and drinks was normal for a hotel, not as bad as many casinos. Bed was not the most comfortable. Pillows were flat and useless, bring your own.

The room was not clean. Found makeup (which I do not wear) on my pillowcase, sheets and comforter. Water closet door had splashes of some dried fluid. Weirdly all the cabinet doors & drawers were open when we arrived, like it was in the "process" of being cleaned. All of that was promptly handled after reported to front desk. Other than that, everything else was great; service, food and entertainment.
