Worst internet service. I chose this hotel because it advertised a fast internet service. But they are using a broken provider that doesn't allow a secure VPN connections. I require a VPN connection to my work. They offer 2 levels of internet, standard (for free) and enhanced for $4.95. I chose enhanced, but it didn't allow my VPN connection to work. I tested the VPN connection to my home, and it didn't work either. The 3 different hotels that I stayed at, on the last 3 evenings, all worked fine for my VPN connections. I will not be staying in Marriot Hotels again.

What stood out is how nice they were to let me check in early. I wasnt feeling good and needed to rest and they let me check in early. I was feeling so bad that I forgot my email and they still let me check in regardless. The empathy was greatly appreciated. I will definitely recommend them and stay there every time I go that area. :)

Hot tub was awesome, super Hot! Pool is nice, a little small but works. Room was nice and spacious and bathroom was a bit dim, and there were ants in the bathroom and the room was a bit warm, but overall, it was a great stay! Great breakfast, a good variety of foods! Staff was super nice and friendly. Walkable distance to shopping, the most beautiful and clean beach in the area, a park. Great area!
