Bikini beach not resort

Our rain was nothing like the pictures. It was dark and drab. It was not in a great state of repair (we had tile that was leaning against the wall and not attached). There was no working ice machine on the premises and we were told we could get ice at the tiki bar that never opened. My bed was comfortable but it was not level and I felt like I would roll off of it. Our room was full of love, bugs on the bed, the walls and the ceiling. It has great views and is in a great location. I've stayed here many times and it's never been like this.

We have been coming to this property for years. This is the final. We were greated with the nastiest attitudes from Alex and I assume the head housekeeper. The room walls were nasty. Several guest we spoke eith had the same issues. Hotel maintenance is non existent. One remote no batteries two tvs one was broken. Never ever again

Not enough towels or pillows in a suite meant for up to 6 people. To get clean towels you have to bring your dirty ones down to the front desk. Why should the guest have to do all the work? The staff should bring them to your room! The cabinets hadn’t even been wiped down from the last guests. You could see dirty fingerprints all over the cabinets. The cabinets inside were also filthy. It has a kitchen and stove yet no cutlery or pots or plates. The staff seem very nonchalant about guests needs. The beach made up for and the cheap prices. Yet they need to step their game up. Also we saw water bugs in the room ! Disgusting!!!
