The resort is undergoing renovations and things are a bit messy but the staff here is better than great. I went to a nicer place that was more money and wound up coming back here because to me the staff is the most important part of your trip.

Room smelled moldy and the bed could have been better but it was okay for our one day stay. We liked that it was on the beach, it had swinging chairs and a little tiki bar over looking the beach. The staff was nice.

The room its self you can tell they were making improvements and trying to bring it up to date, however there were a lot of things that were small that added up, the front door and balcony door were both challenging to open due to the door sticking, the balcony door had a slide security lock that was installed backwards so it didn’t actually do anything. The curtains for the window weren’t attached fully to the curtain rod so you couldn’t close them all the way. One of the head boards was mounted noticeably not level to the point it was comical. The walls you could see where the paint was stained. The front door had about an inch gap along the bottom that let in quite a draft, ended up putting a towel in front of the door to help stop the draft. The kitchenette would’ve been great if there were actually items to use. There were no utensils to cook with, no pots, no dish towel to dry dishes with, no napkins or paper towels, and no utensils to eat with. They were completing painting and decided to start at around 7:30am being extremely loud yelling back and forth between each other. One last thing which wasn’t the hotels fault but I wouldn’t have booked here if I’d know but the building across the street was being redone and all you heard for 3 days straight was heavy machinery and jack hammers starting at 7am even on Sunday. Honestly I’d give this hotel another chance if they made those improvements you can see they’re actively trying, it has the potential to be great.
