We had to leave on Thursday morning instead of Saturday. It rained and rain was coming through the air conditioner in our room. The floor was very wet. We feel like we should be compensated for the 2 days we left but because we rented through a third party we would have to contact you. I did but you denied me. Bad experience.

Our first room had an awful odor from the fridge, even after we cleaned it out. Also, the carpet under the air conditioner unit dripped water all over to the point we had to wear shoes. We then asked for a new room, which also had carpet and the air conditioner unit did the same thing. Water from the window to the bed and under the table. So we were unable to enjoy time spent in our room. Also, was disappointed that the heated pool was under repair. That may have changed our decision to stay there and go with something else. We spent 5 nights and not once was out garbage emptied or towels offered. We had to ask for towels, toilet paper and Kleenex. Really disappointed with our stay there.

2 of the 3 pools were closed and they made me walk back to the front desk for a pool towel because they don't provide them at the pool area. My room carpet was wet, it smelled, and there was cockroaches in my room.

The hotel is dirty and old, I was willing to look past the outdated part of the hotel. But then roaches started to appear there fly problem, is a problem as well. Their customer service skills horrible, Jose the manager was terrible and I’m pretty sure racist. He was the rudest manager that I’ve ever encountered and was less than helpful

We really enjoyed our Spring Break at this Resort. The staff was awesome and the rooms were clean. I was a little skeptical at first because of some recent reviews about “humid” “damp” conditions of the hotel it it wasn’t something that we noticed or caused us any inconvenience. The amenities were great even though we didn’t get to use them all because of all the activities we had to do.

Friendly, wonderful stay

We stayed at the hotel for a week as a family. My daughter and son-in law had their 4 month old and I stayed with my 18 year old son. The building is in need of improvement and they are making changes. The outside is looking worn and weathered. I had a pool view room and watched every morning as the workers cleaned the pools and the yard around the buildings. Nancy, Violet and one other very nice lady (who I forgot to get her name) were all so very pleasant each morning at breakfast! This was some of the best "hotel" food I've ever had! Fresh delicious fruit every morning. There wasn't a buffet during the week, we order from their menu which meant no one else has coughed or spit on your food!!! We stayed the week before spring break and would do it again. We had no issues with staff or our rooms. Everyone was friendly and accommodating even when my son lost his room key almost every day. I had my service dog with me and there were no issues with his stay at all! They asked the appropriate questions to make sure he wasn't an emotional support animal or just a pet. I not only would stay again but I've recommended this resort to other friends looking for a nice place to take their family and enjoy the beach!

The heated pool, needs to be retiled, so many tiles missing, and some even floating around in the pool. The music the DJ had was too loud, it was mostly families there the days I went, they just need to keep that in mind, who is there at the moment. Many security guards, due to spring break, which is good, and staff is nice. I didn’t like we had to make a line in the front desk to get the towels, that wasted much time for us. Rooms are clean, AC worked well, beach access is nice, RRs by the beach need work, but overall, we had a good time.
