This whole complex was old, filthy, run down - I suffered an ashma attack just walk down the hallway. EXTREMELY disappointed and not likely ever do a bundle package again if this is the kind of place being recommended.

There was a crazy man blasting music at 230am and they knew about him and put me in that apartment next to him anyways. The security guard said that man pulled a knife on him before. I had to pack all my things in the middle of the night and move rooms. It was horrible experience.

1st off don’t book this through Expedia I booked for a king size bed with a twin size sofa bed when we got there, they didn’t give us the bid that I booked for. They said that it was just a deluxe suite and it’s it was a double bed instead of the king bed that I booked for and they said that it was because that’s all they had available and if we have a book on their website, we would have the actual room that we booked for which is crazy cause what’s the difference but anyways the building structure is falling apart like on the side of the building like it’s fallen apart like actual structure is fallen off like I don’t know if it’s from the hurricane or what but it’s falling apart aside from that on the rooms clean you have you know beach access but yeah I don’t. I don’t think customer service was really good.

ESJ the staff was very friendly and try to help in any circumstances. It was really safe!! The property needs a lot of updates, the pool was under construction, my husband and I noticed once we checked in. The reason we booked ESJ was to celebrate our honeymoon and enjoy the pool and no pool that was sad. ESJ should advertise there is NO POOL. The room was ok, but it was not clean the kitchen was dirty.The checked in process was horrible, I truly felt bad for the concierge, she was the only one helping like 20 people; my husband and I we waited for almost 2 hours to have the room we booked.I asked for ocean view prior the check in. We received a different room, at the end the concierge accommodated us. Only 2 elevators worked instead of 3.The concierge that checked us in she goes above and beyond. Willy bar tender was very pleasant and very professional.
