Room not available at check-in time
Check-in definitely was not a good start to this trip. Arrived at 4:15pm for check -in and I was advised to wait a few minutes while the room inspection was completed. It was not until 4:53 that we were able to get our keys. Checked a couple of times with the front desk in the meantime, but didn't seem to speed up anything.

Customer service was seriously lacking. From the room not being ready an hour and a half AFTER check in time, to no apologies or smiles from front desk staff, to long waits for breakfast from the kitchen, this was not up to par for this type of hotel/pricing. The room was beautiful but functionally poor. Lighting was so dim in the bedroom, bathroom door wouldn’t shut unless you threw your whole weight against it, tub was chipped, no bottle opener for water bottles sold as part of the mini bar, sliding door unlocked when we got to our room. No lotion as part of toiletries offered, and the AC shook and was so noisy. Very disappointed in what looked like a high level hotel (based on the prices and photos).

The steward is a hidden gem. We happen to come across by chance. It is such a lush property. We loved walking the grounds with our dog. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast brought out by Angel. He was so informative and pleasant as was everyone else. We will definitely be back soon. The only thing is, I think the rooms should have screens so you can enjoy the beautiful clean air without all the bugs.

Promising. Beautiful hotel and property, but lacking in amenities. Only reason to justify the price is you get a one bedroom suite, which was great for having small kids. Property is beautiful, but that’s about it. You get a patio facing a parking lot or parking lot/highway. We had no towels in room upon arrival and didn’t realize until we need to get ready for dinner. Called 3 times to get towels and finally arrived 1 hour later by front desk. Housekeeping was no where to be found. There is no pool service. Although they said there was weekends after 3, but never saw anyone. The pool was pack and they have 2 cabanas. However, you have to book the cabana through resort pass, not for hotel guests and no priority to guest. Inviting more people on the property for already small space. We did this bc we wanted a spot. The cabana for some reason is on compacted dirt, not pool deck, so your feet are dirty and gritty the whole time. We also had only one roll of toilet paper and were missing our do not disturb signs all of which took a long time to receive. It’s $30 to self park every night. Given the price of the room I expected more, but no one even helped us with our bags.
