The room was nice! Staff was kind especially the maid for our room. The gym was good too had everything you need but my only complaint is the pool. Its only open sunrise to sunset so by 5 pm its locked up with a chain and padlock. It was also locked at 8 this morning too so i only got in once the 2 nights i was there. Awful pool hours. The bar also only sold what seemed like beers, no cocktails or other. I would come back:)
