Supposedly the pool and hot tub were destroyed a year ago from a hurricane. This should be updated in your description of what people are booking. It’s understandable if it was last week, but there’s been plenty of time to update the site. You aren’t getting what you pay for.

Very nice, helpful staff. Comfortable bed and the biggest tv I’ve ever had in a hotel room. I had an end room so I looked out over the water. Good location, too.
