Beautiful resort. Very clean and nice staff. Room Was very comfortable and balcony had a great view, awesome pool area. I only gave 4 stars because parking is hike away from the hotel itself and the beach was absolutely beautiful and well cared for but again it’s a bit of a walk from the hotel. Lots of gates to go through to get there. Just didn’t feel as convenient as other resorts I have stayed in the past. Would I stay here again, absolutely. Just things to be aware of if your staying with kids.

We had to park 150 yards away from the hotel at a cost of $29 per day. Had we chosen valet parking, we would have paid $50 per day. Not sure what value we received for the $49 per day resort fee. Lots of insult pricing included on the final statement.

Fancy on the face but cheap tactics

Hotel overall is extremely nice although had several issues. First had an issue with the final invoice and have still not received a response from anyone to correct it. Seems like once they had my money they are not worried about it. The options for parking are 30.00 for self park a night and 35.00 for valet. We did the self park which and they’re doing construction so our vehicle was covered in concrete dust but still paid 30.00 a night. A resort of this time shouldn’t be charging customers to park. You also have to pay nightly for WIFI 15.00. Yes you have to pay for WiFi. You can go to McDonalds and get good wifi. The free WiFi they do have at the resort is so slow that it’s their way of getting you to pay for the fast WiFi out of frustration. We went to the beach where they have a hut to get towels etc. The employee informed us that we could only have 1 towel per person. Like we plan to steal towels. We were with our toddler and wanted to sit on the sand after getting into the ocean. So I had to walk the 1/4 mile back to the hotel and bring towels from there. Several little things that make it seem like a 4 star resort but they treat stuff like it’s a cheap air line trying to nickle and dime you to death.
