Great Potential that was poorly executed

While the hotel was in a good location, it was a haul to get from the lobby to building B. That building was on the beach, but only one side faced the water, the other faced to pool. The room was updated, but the bed was waaaaaay to soft and left my back aching. We also had an issue with the grounds keeping team starting the blowers at 7am right outside our window. On a positive note the rooftop observation area is breathtaking. Overall this property had allot of potential, but just didn’t get there

Yuck

I understand that spring breakers can do some damage to beach hotels, but MAINTENANCE could help this hotel greatly. Everywhere you look in this hotel needs maintenance. Missing tiles in the elevator, rust all over the bathroom, what seemed like barnacles growing on the bathroom sink faucet, pool fountain needs tiles replaced and painting. Seemed more like a $69 hotel than a $150 hotel. Also, restaurant only had one server and she didn't seem to speak English...had to point everything out on the menu that we wanted and she didn't understand any specifics that we wanted...had to go through the bartender to get what we wanted. Won't stay here again.

The room smell of mold, mildew and bleach. Outdated bathroom fixtures and no tub bar in the shower. Pools had missing tile. Staffing shortage in yhe Restaurant Azure for breakfast resulted in meal served semi warm. Lobby areas and elevators no air conditioning. Overall needs a total update for the pricey stay.
