One of the most satisfying things about being on vacation is waking up and relaxing in bed with a cup of coffee. Even if it's in-room, powdered creamer kind of coffee LOL. Not only is there NO coffee in the rooms, but you are then forced to get dressed and go to the lobby to buy a coffee. On our trip, the employee had called in sick! Thankfully the front desk person did brew a pot of coffee, but still had to wrestle myself out of the very cozy bed, get dressed, brush teeth, etc. just to get a cup of coffee. Please put coffee makers in the room! Otherwise, the property is amazing :)
