The beach and swimming area was great. Some suggestions I would make: live music, spa service, laundry service, get rid of the automatic 18% gratuity, staff would be more diligent about their service, inform that you will be bombarded by cruise ship passengers on the beach, put in freshwater showers to rinse off after you get out of the ocean, provide fresh ice water in a large container so guest can refill their cups rather than charging $3.00 a bottle, update the menu (steak was on it but they did not have it), get rid or the roosters, chickens, and cats (I was awakened every morning between 3:00 & 5:00 am.

Hotel staff gave us great recommendations for local restaurants off the beaten path, the view from our room patio was perfect every morning with palm trees, ocean waves and sunshine. Being right on the beach for our honeymoon was our favorite part of the stay! We absolutely loved our stay there—perfect size and amenities for us.

First never seemed to have clean towels. The shower was very hard to regulate the temperature it was either very hot or very cold. There was no where to hang wet towels. The staff was not very knowledgeable about the area when asked for recommendations as to any places to eat. It was clean but not a place I would go back to.

Our room was fine, typical motel room with small fridge. No microwaves anymore. Lovely view. Front desk staff were friendly. We did not see a lot of friendly after that except some beach workers. Staff in the sit down restaurant were very slow, don’t expect to see much of them, especially once your food arrives. Food is very plain and unimaginative. And expensive. I wouldn’t return here.

Disliked: Amenities
This is not a 4 star hotel. Beach is nice, but when cruise passengers arrive good luck getting a beach chair. Restaurant food is decent but service is understaffed and extremely slow! Waited 3 days for a clean beach towel. Many excuses. Dryer broke, waiting to receive from another resort to they don’t know why there are none. There were some very frustrating moments. Note. There are no elevators!
